A website for your barber shop
A barber's website has one job: turn the person who just found you into someone sitting in the chair. That means your price list, your opening hours, photos of actual cuts and a booking link, on a page that loads fast on a phone. That is what I build, for £240 to set up and £179 a month, everything included.
What a barber’s site needs that a generic one misses
Barbering is not like most trades. Nobody is comparing quotes or waiting on a callback. They are standing outside deciding whether to walk in. The site has to answer them in about ten seconds.
The price list, in plain sight
Nobody rings a barber to ask what a skin fade costs. They check somewhere else instead. Your prices go on the page, readable without pinching, so the question never sends somebody to the shop down the road.
Walk-in or appointment, answered
This is the thing people actually want to know and it is the thing most barber sites leave out. If you take walk-ins, it says so at the top. If you are appointment only, it says that instead, and the booking button is right there.
Your cuts, not stock photos
The gallery is the sell. A barber gets judged on the work, so your own photos go on the page at full quality and compressed properly so they still load quickly on 4G outside the shop.
Your booking system, kept
Booksy, Fresha, Squire, or a phone and a diary. Whatever your regulars already use, the site links to it. Moving a barber off a booking system they know is how you lose a month of appointments, so I do not do it.
Hours and directions that are correct
Opening hours on the page and matching your Google listing, because when the two disagree Google trusts neither. Directions, nearest station and where to park, for the person already walking towards you.
The Google listing set up properly
More people will find you on Google Maps than on your website, so your Google Business Profile is part of the job, not an extra. Right categories, right hours, photos, and set up in your name so it stays yours.
A full barber design
Rook & Razor is an example design, not a real business. Click through the whole thing, on your phone if you can.
One price, everything in it
£240 to set up, then £179 a month. Three months minimum, then it rolls on month to month and you can stop on 30 days' notice. There is no bigger package and no quote to wait for, it is the same for everyone.
The website
Designed round your business, built from scratch, live within a week of your content coming in.
Hosting and backups
Fast hosting with version backups, so a bad change is never permanent.
Your Google listing
Google Business Profile set up and looked after, in your name.
Your dashboard
See how many people found you and what they clicked, without needing to learn analytics.
Socials set up
Accounts created and matched to the site so it all looks like one business.
Changes, forever
New prices, new hours, new photos. Message me, it gets done.
Based in London and most of my work is here, but the whole job runs over calls and messages, so where you are does not decide whether I can build it. If you are outside London, or outside the UK, get in touch anyway.
Want the branding too? A logo, colours and type that carry across everything is £199 one-off at signing.
Things barbers ask me
Does a barber shop actually need a website?
Most people find a barber on Google Maps, not on a website. The website is what they check next, before they decide. If your prices, your opening hours and a few photos of your work are not there, they carry on to the shop that showed them. A website does not replace your Google listing, it backs it up.
Do I have to change my booking system?
No. If you already use Booksy, Fresha, Squire or a phone and a diary, the site links straight to it. Your regulars keep booking the way they already know. Changing a booking system loses appointments, so I never suggest it.
Should I put my prices on the website?
Yes. Nobody rings a barber to ask what a skin fade costs, they check somewhere else instead. A visible price list stops that, and it also filters out the people who were only ever going to argue about the price.
How long before my site is live?
Within a week of the setup fee and your photos and price list coming in. You see a preview and approve it before anything goes public.
Want one for your business?
A quick call, no pressure and nothing to prepare. Tell me about it and I will tell you straight whether a site is worth it for you.
