Small business website design, without the do-it-yourself homework

Small business website design usually goes one of two ways: you start a do-it-yourself builder and never finish it, or you pay someone and can't change a price afterwards. Creatin Web is a third way.

We design and build the website for your shop, café, clinic or studio. You keep it current yourself: products and prices, events, photos and customer messages, from a dashboard or the Android app.

The problem

What goes wrong with most websites in this business

The builder you started is still half done

Templates, hosting, domain settings, a form that doesn't send. Running the business leaves no evenings for it.

Your price list is a photo on WhatsApp

It is out of date the day a price changes, and Google can't read it.

Customers can't find the basics

Opening hours, the phone number, what you sell and where you are. If they aren't easy to find, the customer picks the next result.

A social media page is all you have

It works until someone searches on Google instead, or wants to see everything you offer in one place.

The solution

What your Creatin Web website does about it

Products and services with prices

List each item with a photo, a price and a line of description. Switch an item off when it is out of stock and on again when it is back.

Events and announcements

A workshop on Saturday, new hours for the festival week: post it with the date and it shows on your website.

One inbox for customer messages

Messages from your contact form arrive in the dashboard and the app, with the customer's phone and email, and a notification on your phone.

Built for you, run by you

We do the design, the building and the hosting. You do the part only you can: keeping your own details right.

What it doesn't do

Creatin Web is not an online store. There is no cart, checkout or online payment for your customers. Your products and prices are listed, and customers contact you to order.

Questions

Questions from shops and small businesses

Can customers buy and pay on the website?

No. Creatin Web is not an online store: there is no cart or checkout. Your products and prices are shown, and customers call, message or use the contact form to order.

Do I need a laptop to update the website?

No. Everything can be done from the Android app. The dashboard also works in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer.

My business isn't a shop, a builder, a resort or a school. Does it still fit?

Usually, yes. The sections of your website are chosen for your business during setup, whatever its type: a clinic, a studio, a consultancy or a trader. Tell us what you do in the consultation.

I have no photos or written content yet. Is that a problem?

Tell us in the consultation what you have. The quotation sets out what we need from you and what we prepare, so there are no surprises later.
