Designing a spa or salon website

 

These are a quick few notes about setting up your website. A few people were looking for contacts and ideas, so I thought I’d put this handy list together, and I’ll come back to it and do a dive deep into it. Hopefully, these resources work for you.

*Note: These are all resources that my mentors have referred to me, or I have used personally

Update March 2020

I just came across this very easy, all-in-one resource, and it’s actually really cheap!

Here are a few reasons we think this will be the perfect match for your business:

📌Endless customizability means you can rearrange every part of the theme’s layouts and colours with no coding or CSS knowledge necessary.

 

📌Reduce design time with the nifty drag and drop feature so you can focus on other parts of your business.

 

📌Variety of blog layouts to choose from eight different options for your blog.

 

📌It was built specifically for your business, so you can design your website knowing this theme will cater to all your service-based business model needs.

One thing you might be able to do is to contact a graphic design student in your area and ask if they are interested in doing a project for you. It would probably cost significantly cheaper than a big business.

 

If you have an online booking system, check with your service provider to see if there are options that they provide. They may provide a basic landing page and a section to sell products.
