Websites for local shops and boutiques
People check before they drive. Are you open, do you carry what they want, is it worth the trip? A shop with a clean website that answers those questions gets the visit. A shop with only a Facebook page leaves people guessing.
I build websites for local shops, boutiques, gift stores, and makers from $500, or nothing down, from $99 a month. If you want to sell online as well, I build online stores too.
What a shop website has to do
- Show what you sell with good photos, even if nothing is for sale online.
- Put your hours and address where nobody can miss them.
- Tell your story. People shop local because of who is behind the counter.
- Show up on Google when someone searches for what you carry.
- Give you a base for selling online later, when you are ready.
Two ways to get a website
Website
A clean, professional site built fast. A set number of pages, one round of changes, a clear timeline. It is yours to keep.
Website with nothing down
I build your site with no money up front. The monthly covers hosting, keeping it running, and small updates, on a 12-month plan.
Bigger custom builds are quoted as their own project. See exactly what is included.
What a website under $1,000 actually gets you.

See your website before you pay a cent.
Tell me your business name and your town. I build a preview of your home page from what is already public about your business, and send it to you within two business days. If you like it, we talk. If you do not, you owe nothing.
Questions I get asked
Do I need an online store, or just a website?
Start with what you will keep up. A simple site that shows what you sell and when you are open does a lot. An online store is worth it when you have the stock and the time to ship.
How much is an online store?
A store with products, a cart, and checkout is a bigger build than a simple site, so it is quoted as its own project. Tell me what you want to sell and I will give you the number in writing.
Can you take the product photos?
Photography is not included, but phone photos taken in good light work well. I will show you how to take them.
