The price list, complete
Cut, skin fade, beard trim, hot towel shave, kids, seniors, the works. On the home page, not behind a link. This is the most-viewed content on any barbershop site by a wide margin.
Website design for barbershops
Barbershop website design that fills the chair on a slow Tuesday
Barbering is a habit business. You’re trying to be the obvious answer for two thousand men who live within a fifteen minute drive, and then to keep the chairs full between four and six on the quiet days.
Which means the website is short, fast and blunt. Prices. Barbers. Hours. Walk-in or appointment. Where to park. A booking button that works with one thumb while someone is standing in a parking lot. Anything else on the page is decoration, and decoration is the reason most barbershop sites take six seconds to load on a phone.
Today you pay $1 for the website plus your first month of hosting. After that hosting is $8.99 a month, billed on the same date each month until you cancel, and you can cancel in any month. The .com is included on the Complete plan at $18.99 a month. On Basic at $8.99 a month the name is registered in your own name and run for you, and the registry’s own annual fee for it, about $12 a year, is billed separately at cost.
What the site has to prove
Four things a barbershop site has to settle in the first ten seconds
These are the questions your visitor is holding while they scroll, and a site that leaves any of them open sends the work to whoever answered it.
02
Walk-in policy, stated
Do you take walk-ins, when, and how long is the wait likely to be? Half your traffic is someone in a car deciding whether to drive over right now.
03
A page per barber
Photograph, the styles they’re best at, their days, and a link that books them. In this trade the client follows the barber, and if a barber leaves, the page moves with them instead of leaving a hole.
04
Hours that are right
Including the holiday weeks. Nothing costs a barbershop more goodwill than a customer who drove over on a Monday you have been closed for a year.
The build
The pages we would draw and write for barbershops
This is a starting structure. You tell us what you sell in the questionnaire and the map changes to match, which is most of what done-for-you website design means when a person is doing it.
- Home Prices, hours, the booking button and the address, all above the fold.
- Services and prices The full list, with times, so people know what fits in a lunch break.
- Our barbers A page each with their work and their booking link.
- Gallery Fades, beards and finished cuts from your own chairs.
- Walk-ins and waiting The policy, the busy times, and fair warning about Saturdays.
- Gift cards The December business most shops leave on the table.
- Find us Parking, the cross street, the door, and the map.
- Book a chair Live availability, one thumb, no account to create.
Every word on those pages is written by a copywriter from your answers, not generated from a template and not left as filler for you to replace on a Sunday night. If you already have a site and the problem is what is on it, a website redesign starts from the same questionnaire.
What they type
The searches this site is written to answer
People search in their own words, usually on a phone, usually with a town or a near me attached. We write the pages in that language, which is the least glamorous and most reliable part of getting found.
Where you want to be found matters as much as what for. We publish a page for web design in every state and 263 cities, and if you want the map listing, the citations and the monthly writing handled as an ongoing job, that is local SEO.
- barber shop near me
- barber open now
- skin fade near me
- hot towel shave near me
- kids haircut near me
- best barber in town
Search phrases this kind of page is built to answer. We don’t promise a position, and anyone who does is guessing.
What we keep seeing
What is wrong with most barbershop websites
We look at a lot of these. The same handful of problems come up again and again, and none of them are about taste.
A heavy video background
It looks great on the designer’s laptop and it costs you the customer on three bars of signal in a parking lot. Barbershop sites should be the fastest sites in town.
Booking hidden behind a hamburger menu
The single most important button on the site, tucked behind three lines and a tap. It belongs pinned to the screen.
No prices because they vary by barber
Then publish the range by barber level. Anything is better than making someone call to ask what a haircut costs.
The work
Sites in and around this trade
Drawn by a designer and written by a copywriter, one business at a time. All of the examples are on one page, sorted by trade.
The price
One build, then the hosting, and nothing else
The whole price list is public and it fits in a paragraph. There’s no quote to request and no discovery call to sit through.
The build
$1once
Designed, written and built by our team, live in seven days. The same build is openly sold at $1,500, which is what a US agency charges for a small business site of this size.
Basic hosting
$8.99a month
Hosting, business email, SSL and nightly backups. Your domain is registered in your own name and run for you; the registry’s own annual fee for it, about $12 a year for a .com, is billed separately at cost.
Complete hosting
$18.99a month
Everything in Basic, and the .com itself is included in the monthly rather than billed on to you. One bill, nothing to renew separately.
The whole price list, and what each plan carries, is on the pricing page. If you want to know what everyone else charges first, what a small business website costs puts our number next to the market, with every competitor figure sourced and dated.
Questions
What barbershops ask us next
Do I need a website if I already have Instagram and a booking app?
You need somewhere you own that ties them together and that Google can read. The booking app doesn’t rank, and the social account is rented. The site is the part that shows up when someone searches your town, and it costs $1 to have built here.
Can I keep the booking system I already use?
You can, and we’ll wire the site to it. Or you can move to our booking system, which is included in the monthly with nothing billed on top. Either way the site is yours.
How do I get onto the map results?
A consistent name, address and hours across the site and your Google Business Profile, accurate categories, and reviews that keep arriving. We build the first part, and local SEO keeps at the rest.
We have two shops. One site or two?
One site, a page per location, and a booking link per location. Two thin sites compete with each other and split the reviews.
