A website for a barbershop, built on your cuts
Most people find a barber on a map or a friend’s head, then check two things before booking: whether the cuts look like what they want, and how to get a chair.
Studio hangs your work in a room people walk through: three to eight photos of real cuts, fades and beards, one at a time, each with a short label. It reads like your shop window, not a price list.
After the work come your services, the barbers behind the chairs and the way in: a button to the booking page you already use, and a form for anything else. It sits at your own address; the bookings stay where they are now.
What your site shows
The shop’s name first
The page opens with your shop’s name and a sentence that says what and where — “Fades, beards and hot towel shaves in Russafa”. The top button can read “Book a chair”.
The cuts on the walls
Each cut is a framed photo that the walk stops at: a skin fade, a crop, a beard shaped with a razor. Portrait or landscape, the frame takes the photo’s shape.
A label for each
Under each photo: a title of up to 32 characters, what was done (“Skin fade · Beard”), the year, the barber who did it in the client field, and one line about it.
What you do, set large
Two to six services pass as big single words — Cut, Fade, Beard, Shave — each with a sentence beside it, like how long it takes or what’s included.
The barbers
A paragraph about the shop, then each barber by name with a role or a speciality, up to twelve people.
Getting a chair
With a booking link, a button takes people to it, with the words you choose. The form below takes the rest: groups, weddings, a question before the first visit.
Have this ready
- Three to eight photos of cuts or beards you’re proud of, JPG or PNG, in good light.
- For each: a short title, what was done, the year, the barber and a line.
- Two to six services, each one word, with a sentence on what it includes.
- Your barbers’ names and what each one is known for, and a paragraph about the shop.
- The link to your booking page, if you take bookings online.
- A Web3Forms key for the form, or the email where messages should land.
Worth knowing
Shoot the back and the side
A fade is judged from behind and from the side, where the blend shows. Take the photo there, against a plain wall, before the client puts a cap on.
Ask the client first
It’s someone’s head on your walls. Ask before you hang the photo, and crop the face out if they’d rather not be recognised.
Put your street in the first line
People search for a barber near them. Naming the neighbourhood in the opening sentence helps visitors and tells Google where you work.
Say how long each service takes
The sentence next to each service is the place for it: thirty minutes for a cut, forty-five with the beard. It saves a message for every new client.
Questions
- Can people book a time on the site itself?
- Not inside it: the site holds no calendar. It sends people to the booking page you already use with a button, and keeps a form for anything that isn’t a booking.
- Can I show my prices?
- There is no price list block. You can write the price in the sentence next to each service, or keep prices on your booking page, where they already are.
- We’re four barbers. Does each get a page?
- There is one gallery for the shop, three to eight photos in all. Name the barber on each label and give each one a line in the team; their own profiles can go in the footer links.
- Do I pay every month?
- No. The kit is €500, paid once: you download the files and they’re yours. Hosting them can be free, and the guides show how.
