Websites for butchers

Web design for butchers

Christmas is not a busy period, it is the year's margin. Turkey and rib pre-orders open in October, and a shop without a way to take them is relying on people remembering to walk in.

People decide with a phone in their hand and in about two minutes: what you serve, opening hours, photos, and whether they can book or order. Hiding the menu inside a PDF loses you exactly those two minutes.

The occasion matters more than the cuisine: weekday lunch, a birthday, the terrace, gluten free, a family Sunday. Each one is a separate search and deserves its own paragraph on the site.

A menu from two years ago costs more than no menu at all: the prices are wrong, half the dishes are gone and the impression is of a place that has closed. What is on the page has to be what is on the pass tonight.

Allergens and dietary options deserve a page, not a footnote. The person who has to check is usually the one choosing for the whole table, and a clear answer wins the whole group rather than one order.

Say what the counter will do. Cutting to order, boning, rolling, mincing to a chosen coarseness: every one of those is a reason to cross town and none of them appear on a shelf edge label.

Open Christmas pre-orders early and make them visible. October is when people decide, the order is large, and it is paid for before the shop has bought a thing.

Name the farms. Where the meat comes from and how long it was aged is verifiable, which is precisely why it works on a customer who has stopped believing labels.

Barbecue weather is a real business. Demand moves with the forecast, which means the shop that posts what is ready this weekend takes the trade that would otherwise go to a supermarket on the way home.

The counter is the product. Cut to the thickness asked for, boned and rolled, trimmed for a particular recipe: it is work a supermarket cannot do and most butchers never mention on their website.

Provenance is checkable and it justifies the price. The farm, the breed, how long it was hung: three facts that explain the difference between this and a supermarket tray.

The site sells what happens behind the counter: cutting to order, boning and rolling, mince to your preference. Christmas pre-orders open from October, and the farms named rather than implied.

The busiest six weeks of the year deserve their own page: the Christmas order form, live before the end of October.

We work with the technology that best fits your butcher shop: WordPress, WooCommerce or bespoke development, always with a fast, secure and easy-to-manage website. We hand it over ready and, if you want, train you to run it yourself.

Reviews and your Google profile decide many visits to a butcher shop. We work your Google Business Profile, reviews and website SEO together, so when people search for you in your city, you appear — first and well rated.

In brief: web design for butchers

  • If something goes down, yesterday's backup takes over: phone number and address are reachable again in minutes.
  • Remote work with butchers anywhere, over 15 years of experience and a price agreed up front.
  • Most people look you up before they call. A fast, current site for butchers is what turns that look into an enquiry.
  • Enough contrast, readable sizes and clean structure help older customers as much as they help Google.

⚙️ Not just a website, a tool

The site works when you cannot: it answers the obvious questions, shows the work and takes the enquiry at eleven at night.

What your website includes

Dry ageing, and the number of days

What twenty-eight days does that fourteen does not.

The cheap cuts, and the time they need

Shin, cheek and brisket, and the hours that make them better.

What is actually in the sausages

Meat percentage, rusk, and what is made on the premises.

Ordering for a barbecue

Twelve people, one bag, and how much per person is sensible.

Offal, and who still asks

Liver, kidneys and the things kept behind the counter.

Game, and the months it runs

Which birds when, hung or not, and what to do with them.

    Handed over working

Frequently asked questions about web design for butchers

Why put the cutting service first? +

Because it is the whole advantage. Cut to a chosen thickness, boned, rolled or minced to order is work no supermarket offers, and most butchers assume customers already know it.

When should Christmas orders open? +

October, without exception. That is when families decide, the orders are large and paid in advance, and a shop that waits until December is competing for what is left.

Does naming the farm actually help? +

It is verifiable, which is the point. Customers have stopped trusting adjectives, but a named farm and a stated ageing time can be checked, and that is what supports the price.

Is the weather worth reacting to? +

It moves this trade more than any promotion. A warm weekend forecast changes what people buy, and the shop that says what is prepared and ready takes that decision before the supermarket does.

Can we update the menu ourselves? +

In two minutes from a phone, and it appears everywhere at once — the page, the schema Google reads and the printable version.

Should we take bookings on the site or by phone? +

Both, but the site has to work at eleven at night, which is when a good share of tables are decided.

Do allergens have to be on the online menu? +

They are required, and they are set once per dish. The printed menu comes from the same source.

Do prices have to include VAT? +

Prices shown to the public do, as the final amount. Net prices belong only on pages aimed at business customers, and if both appear, it has to be obvious which is which.

Who writes the texts if my English is not perfect? +

We do, and then you read them aloud. If a sentence does not sound like you, it does not stay — the site has to survive a customer quoting it back.

How many revisions are included? +

Two rounds before launch, and the small fixes afterwards without counting. What is not included is redesigning it twice, and we say so before starting.

Can you keep my current domain? +

Yes, and we prefer it. Losing a domain that has been printed on vans and business cards costs more than any redesign gains.
