Websites for dog groomers
Dog owners want to know three things before they message a groomer: what you charge for a dog like theirs, when you can fit them in, and whether their dog will be happy with you. I build simple sites for groomers around York and North Yorkshire, salon or mobile, that answer those questions before the phone rings.
What owners look for
- Prices by size or breed, even as a guide. "Small dog full groom from £..." saves you answering the same message ten times a week.
- What a groom includes: bath, dry, cut, nails, ears. Plus the extras you offer.
- Where you are or where you go. For a salon, the address and parking. For a mobile groomer, the places you cover.
- Real photos of dogs you have groomed, with the owners' permission, and a few words about how you handle nervous or older dogs.
A groom request that tells you what you need
Instead of "how much for my dog?", the request form asks for the breed, size, coat type, when the dog was last groomed, anything you should know about behaviour or health, and a couple of preferred days. It arrives in your email, and you reply with a price and a slot. No double bookings, because you confirm every one.
Busy seasons and waiting lists
Before Christmas and in spring, groomers fill up fast. Put up a notice like "Christmas slots now full, booking January" from your phone and take it down when you are ready. Holidays and closed days work the same way, and the "open now / closed" sign follows your hours.
Reviews: real ones
I do not add made-up reviews or star badges. I link to your real Google reviews and give you a QR code to hand to owners at pick-up.
What it costs
A new site is £350, half up front and half when you are happy and it is live. A refresh is £250, fixes start at £60, and there is no monthly hosting fee. The domain is about £10 a year in your name.
Questions people ask
Can owners book through the site?
They send a groom request with the breed, size, coat and a couple of preferred days. It arrives in your email and you confirm, so the diary stays yours. If you use a booking app, I link to it instead.
I am a mobile groomer. Can the site show where I go?
Yes. I list the towns and villages you cover, and the request form asks for the area so you know straight away if it is on your round.
Should I put prices on the site?
Where you can. A guide by size, such as small, medium, large and giant breeds, gets more enquiries than "message for a price". You can add "from" to cover matted coats.
Can I add before and after photos?
Yes. You add and swap photos yourself from your phone.
I cover York and North Yorkshire, from York and Easingwold to Harrogate, Knaresborough and Selby. Send me your address, or your Facebook page if you have no site, and I will reply with what I would fix and what it would cost. See also websites for salons.
