Can clients book appointments through our website?
Yes, through the booking system you already use. A Book now button sits on every page and opens your booking page, and your number is a tap-to-call link for clients who'd rather ring. If you haven't set up online booking yet, the site can work with calls and an enquiry form until you do.
Should we put our prices on the website?
We suggest you do, even as "from" prices, because cost is one of the first things a new client checks. Make each "from" price one a client can genuinely get, and explain what moves it up: length, thickness, extra colour or toner, or a more senior stylist. Colour corrections can simply say "by consultation". It's your call, and the site shows only what you approve.
Can we sell gift vouchers through the site?
We link to vouchers sold through your booking system, or explain how to buy one in the salon. Most gift cards and vouchers sold in Australia since November 2019 have to stay valid for a minimum of three years from purchase, with the expiry date displayed on the voucher, so check your wording against the rules. NSW Fair Trading's summary sets them out plainly.
Which package suits a hair salon?
For most salons we suggest the 3-page site at $899: a home page with booking, a services and prices page, and a team page. A solo stylist or home studio can fit everything on the one-page site at $399. Larger salons offering extensions, bridal or barbering as separate services, or with more than one location, are better suited to the 8-page site at $1,499.
Do you build websites for barbers and beauty salons too?
Yes. Barbers and beauty salons need much the same things: booking, prices, staff and photos of the work. One exception: cosmetic injectables and other higher risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed by registered health practitioners are covered by Ahpra's advertising guidelines, which rule out testimonials and set strict conditions on before-and-after photos. Those rules apply to anyone advertising the procedures, including the salon or clinic as a business, not only the practitioner. If you offer them, read Ahpra's guidelines before anything is written, and supply wording you're satisfied meets them.
How do we add a new stylist or change prices after launch?
Email us the details. Hosting is $30 a month and includes unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages, so a new stylist's photo and bio on the team page, a price rise or your Christmas closing dates are covered. A new page, such as a separate bridal page, is quoted first. We're an Adelaide team and work with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email.
