Question 1

How much does a website for a salon business cost?

Accepted Answer

For most salon businesses, a properly built site lands between £800 and £3,500 depending on scope. Smaller one-page sites for sole traders cost less; bigger multi-page sites with booking or e-commerce cost more. Fixed price agreed upfront, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Question 2

Will my site rank for "salon near me" searches?

Accepted Answer

That’s the whole point. Every site I build for a salon includes proper local SEO, schema markup, fast load speeds, and the local keywords your customers actually type. Most local terms ("salon Leigh", "salon Bolton", "salon Wigan") are very winnable within 2 to 4 months of going live.

Question 3

Do you integrate with Fresha / Booksy / Treatwell?

Accepted Answer

Yes, happy to integrate whatever booking system you already use. Or build a custom booking flow if you’d rather keep the data and avoid the platform fees. Most salons stick with what works; some switch once they realise the platform commission adds up.

Question 4

How long does a salon website take to build?

Accepted Answer

Usually 1 to 3 weeks from the first call to live site. Simple one-page builds can ship inside a week. I’ll set a clear timeline at the start and keep you in the loop as it progresses, no waiting weeks in silence.

Question 5

Can I just use Wix or Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

You can, but you’ll struggle to rank against salons with custom-built sites. Wix templates load slowly, look generic, and don’t compete well for local searches. For a hobby site it’s fine. For a real salon business trying to pull in calls, a custom build pays for itself faster than people expect.
