How to make a good bike shop website
A bike shop website has to do more than show your address. Cyclists check online which bikes you have in stock, what a service costs and whether the workshop has room this week, before they ever walk in. This guide shows what a good bike shop website needs: a live range from your till, all your services in one place, an online repair planner and a webshop for accessories and parts.
- A good bike shop website shows what is really in stock, so a bike sold over the counter is not offered online.
- List every service you offer, from a basic service to e-bike diagnostics, with a clear price or starting price.
- Link your online repair planner from the menu and the homepage, so customers can book without calling.
- Sell accessories, parts and clothing in a webshop, and use dropshipping for the range you do not stock yourself.
- Opening hours, address and a route belong on every page, because most visitors want a shop nearby.
- On SitePack a website costs 15 euro and a webshop 25 euro per month, billed yearly, plus 35 euro per month for a POS app.
