Web design for a Croydon shop is a different job from a service firm. A plumber needs a coverage area. A shop needs the door: what is inside, when it is open, and how to get there. A homepage full of slogans does not tell someone on the high street whether to walk in.
The packages are on website design. The order of pages, for any Croydon business, is in website design in Croydon. This note is the shop version.
What a shop site has to do
Name the shop. Say what you sell in the first screen. Put opening hours in text, not only inside a picture. Put the address in text so it can be copied. Make the phone number a link. If you take bookings or orders by message, say so, and say what you do not sell so the wrong enquiry stops early.
A person on a phone between shops should reach hours and the address without a menu hunt. If the hero image hides the name, the page has failed the only test that matters on a Saturday.
Which pages
Five pages often cover a small shop: home, what you sell, visit and hours, a short about, and contact. A café might swap “what you sell” for a menu. A salon might swap it for services and prices. If you have an online till, that is extra and usually the £495 build, because the structure has to hold products rather than paragraphs.
Starter is £150 for up to five pages. Business is £295 for up to fifteen, which is enough when you want a page per range. Growth is £495 for up to thirty. Do not buy thirty pages for a shop that sells one thing. Empty catalogue pages do not help anyone find you.
Photos and hours
Use photographs of the shop and the products. A stock street labelled Croydon is worse than a plain page, because it implies a premises you do not have. If you are between signs, say the shop is being photographed and launch with the hours anyway. Hours that changed last month should be edited the same day. The Google profile should show the same hours and the same address. That match is in connecting the profile and keeping the details consistent.
Being found for “near me” still depends on the profile, reviews and distance. The site’s job is to confirm the shop is real. The wider subject is SEO in Croydon. We do not promise a map position.
What it costs
The first year of domain, hosting and SSL is included. From year two the renewal is about £60, paid to the providers. If you already own the domain, we can build on it. Most small sites are ready within two to four weeks of the words and pictures. The cost breakdown is in how much web design costs in Croydon.
What to leave out
Leave out a blog you will not write, a page for every nearby town, and a five-star widget with invented names. A shop in South Croydon does not need a page that only swaps in Norbury. If you also cover Purley, say so in one sentence unless the second place has its own counter. We build these sites from 109A Brighton Road, Coulsdon, CR5 2NG. Your site should show your shop, not our road.
Send what you sell, the hours, and whether people can order online. We will name one package. If you are choosing a person, the questions are in how to choose a web designer in Croydon.
Frequently asked questions
Can a shop use the £150 package?
Yes, when five pages are enough: home, what you sell, hours and visit, about, and contact.
Do I need an online shop?
Only if people can order and pay. A menu and a phone number are enough for many Croydon shops.
Where is the studio?
109A Brighton Road, Coulsdon, CR5 2NG. Shop sites for Croydon are built from there.
