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 a made-up barber business, built as a sample design. Try it on your phone.
One price, everything in it
£240 to set up, then £179 a month. Everything the shop needs online, for one monthly price that does not go up when you get busier. Three months minimum, then 30 days' notice.
The site
Prices, hours, a cuts gallery and your booking link, designed round the shop and live within a week of your photos arriving.
Hosting
Kept quick for people checking you from the pavement on 4G, with version backups in case a change goes wrong.
Google Maps
Your listing with the right categories and current hours, so a nearby search shows the shop, and it stays in your name.
Your numbers
See how many people tapped Book or Directions this month, without opening a single analytics report.
Instagram and Facebook
Set up to match the site, because that is where people look at your fades before they book.

A new price, holiday hours, another barber joining the team. Send a message and it is done.

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 the shop online properly?
Ten minutes on the phone. Tell me how the shop runs and I will tell you honestly whether a site would fill more chairs.
