Does your salon website actually work for you, East Mountain?

What a salon website actually needs to do

A salon site has a short list of jobs. Show your work. Let people book. Tell them what you charge and who's behind the chair. That's it.

But most older salon websites fail at half of those. The photo gallery is outdated or missing. There's no online booking—just a phone number and maybe a Facebook link. Pricing is either hidden or so buried that nobody finds it. And on a phone, the whole thing falls apart. Menus don't work right. Text is too small. Buttons overlap. Meanwhile, the majority of people looking for a haircut or color appointment are searching from their phone.

A redesign isn't about making things prettier. It's about making the site do its job. A proper photo gallery that shows off cuts, color work, styles—whatever your team does best. Staff bios so new clients can pick a stylist before they walk in. A clear pricing page. And online booking that actually works, not a form that goes to an email inbox nobody checks. We build all of this into a fast, mobile-first site that you own outright. No platform lock-in, no monthly ransom to some website builder.

The quiet cost of an old site

Nobody's going to call you and say, "Hey, I found your website and it was bad so I went somewhere else." That's not how it works. They just leave. You never hear from them.

East Mountain is a small community. Upshur County folks tend to drive into Gilmer or down toward Longview for services, and if your website looks neglected, they'll assume the shop is too. Fair or not, that's the read. A site that loads fast, looks current, and lets someone book a Tuesday afternoon appointment in thirty seconds—that changes the equation. It gives people a reason to stay local.

And here's the thing about owning your code: you're not stuck. Want to add a new stylist? Update pricing? Swap out gallery photos? You can do that without calling customer support for a platform you're paying monthly for. The site is yours.

What this looks like, practically speaking

You're probably wondering about cost and timeline. Fair.

A full salon website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. That gets you a custom-built site—mobile-first, fast, with booking integration, a photo gallery, staff pages, and service pricing laid out clearly. No templates. No drag-and-drop builders.

If you also want to show up when someone in Upshur County searches for a salon or barbershop, the Website+SEO package starts at $3,500 and takes one to two weeks. That includes the full site build plus proper search structure so Google actually knows what you do and where you are.

Hosting runs $50 a month. Straightforward, no surprises.

You talk to me directly. Not a sales team, not a support queue. One person builds it, one person answers questions.
