Updates and conversations. They pass.
Questions about websites for local businesses
First whether a website is needed, then what moves its price, and last whether the one you have should be rebuilt. The questions usually arrive in that order, and anyone who already has a site starts with the last one. The answer to each one is here, and behind it the page that argues it in full.
Website or Instagram
The same opening hours in two places: on the channel they scroll away, on the site they hold still.
- Hours
- Tue–Sat 9.00–18.00
- Address
- Lugano
- Phone
- 091 000 00 00
- Booking
- Online, from the site
The same facts, always in the same place.
You want both, because the people who follow you and the ones still deciding whether to come to you are two different groups: the second wants your hours, your prices and a way to book, and looks for them where they stay written on the days you post nothing.
What drives the price
The same barbershop, two different perimeters.
One shop
Price list, hours, and booking where it already lives.
- Pages
- 3 pages
- Languages
- One language
- Images
- No production: yours, as they are
- Booking
- Links out to the diary you use
Two shops and a second language
More pages to write, German to keep in step, new images to produce.
- Pages
- 8 pages
- Languages
- Two, kept in step
- Images
- 15–25 essential images
- Booking
- Inside your own pages
Same business, same way of building. What changes is the amount of work, and the price follows it.
On how much work the site takes: how many pages it needs, whether it exists in one language or two, whether the images already exist or have to be produced, and whether booking leads away from the site or happens inside it; all of it goes into the quote in CHF, VAT included, before the work starts.
When to redesign
Four checks you can run right now, on the phone in your hand.

Change an hour
Open the site and try to correct an opening time, or a price, on your own.
If you have to write to somebody and wait, the first signal is already there: the site cannot be edited by the people who work in the business.
Delivery test
NameEmailMessageSendNot deliveredMessage yourself
Send yourself a message from the site’s contact form, from your phone, and wait.
If it does not arrive, or arrives in a mailbox nobody opens any more, the contact path is broken.
Our services and the current price list
The text carries on past the edge of the screen and has to be dragged sideways to be read.
- Cut and beard45 minutes
- Colour and treatment60 minutes
- Traditional shave30 minutes
Read it standing
Open the page that matters most and read it without zooming and without moving it sideways.
If you have to, the page was not built for the screen it is almost always read on.
What the site says
- Open every day
- Closed on Mondays
- Classic cut · 35.–
- Bookings by phone
- Cash only
- Walk-ins welcome
Line by line
Read the site line by line and mark everything that is no longer true.
If the list is long, you already have the perimeter of what needs correcting: a list instead of an impression.
When one of the tests fails: you try to change an opening hour yourself and cannot, you message yourself through the contact form and nothing arrives, you open the prices on a phone and cannot read them, you reread the pages and find things that are no longer true; if none of them fails, a site that merely looks dated stays as it is.
If the question you came with is none of these, write it out as it is. We reply within 3 working hours.
