Can you connect my website to my existing booking system?

Yes. If you're using Square, Vagaro, Booksy, GlossGenius, or pretty much anything else — the booking system plugs right into the site. Clients click a button and they're scheduling, no extra steps.

How do I add new photos to the gallery after the site is built?

We set it up so you can add photos yourself without touching any code. Drop in your latest cuts or color work whenever you want. If you'd rather send them over and have us do it, that works too.

Do I really need a website if I get most of my business from social media?

Social media is great for staying visible, but you don't own it. Algorithms change, accounts get restricted, and you can't control how your page looks. A website is yours. It also shows up in Google when someone new to Gilmer searches for a salon — Instagram posts usually don't.

What if I only need something simple with my hours and a phone number?

A simple site starts at $300 and takes just a few days. It won't have all the bells — no gallery, no booking integration — but it gets you online with something that looks right.

Will the site look good on phones?

Every site we build works on phones first. That's where most of your traffic is coming from. If it doesn't look good on a phone screen, nothing else matters.

Web design for salons and barbers in Gilmer

You've probably already tried the DIY route. Maybe a free site through your booking app, maybe a page builder you fought with for a weekend. And it shows. If your website doesn't book appointments, it's furniture.

You already gave it a shot

Most salon owners in a town like Gilmer don't start by hiring someone. You Google "free website builder," pick a template, drag some things around, and call it done. Or your booking platform gives you a little landing page and you figure that's good enough.

It's not. Those templates all look the same. The photos are wrong. The fonts are wrong. The whole thing feels like it belongs to a different business in a different state. And half the time, the booking link is buried or broken on a phone.

Your shop has a look. A vibe. Walk into any good salon in Gilmer — off the square, wherever — and you can feel it. The website should match that. Not some generic page with stock colors and somebody else's layout.

What a salon website actually needs

1. **Booking that works on the first tap.** Not three screens deep. Not a phone number with no other option. A button at the top, a button at the bottom, and it connects straight to your scheduling system.

2. **Photos of your actual work.** A gallery page with cuts, color, fades, nails — whatever you do. Updated regularly. This is what sells people before they ever walk in. Your work is the marketing.

3. **Your team, front of house.** Stylist bios, specialties, maybe who's best with curly hair or beard work. People pick their person before they pick the shop. Give them a reason to choose yours.

4. **Pricing that's easy to find.** Services, packages, add-ons. Don't make someone call just to find out what a balayage costs. Put it on the site. Saves you time, saves them time.

5. **Speed.** The site loads fast or people leave. That's true everywhere but it's especially true on phones — and that's how most folks in Upshur County are finding you.

What this costs and how fast it happens

A full salon website with booking integration, gallery, staff pages, and service pricing starts at $1,500. Takes about a week. If you want to show up when someone searches "hair salon near me" in Gilmer or anywhere in Upshur County, the website-plus-SEO package starts at $3,500 and takes one to two weeks.

Hosting runs $50 a month. That covers keeping everything updated, secure, and online.

You don't need the biggest package to get something good. But you do need something that isn't a template fighting against you. We'll build it around how your shop actually runs — your services, your schedule, your prices. And when you want to update your gallery or change your hours, you can.
