Barbershops are a staple of the local community, and like many other small businesses, they don’t necessarily see the need for a website. Many of them rely on foot traffic and word of mouth. Surely that’s enough, right?
A website offers many advantages for a business. You’ll appear in local search results, you can showcase your services, and you can quickly establish credibility with potential customers.
As websites have become more affordable and easier to create, there are fewer and fewer excuses left for not having one.
But what makes a good barber website? And where can you get one?
Let’s look at 30 great examples of barbershop websites. We’ll spend a bit of time discussing why these pages, in particular, really do a good job promoting their businesses.
Before we do that, let’s discuss some general rules that are relevant to all websites.

GET YOUR WEBSITE IN A FEW CLICKS
What Makes A Good Barber Website?
There are really two elements that you need to keep in mind when evaluating a barber’s website: the design of the page — which governs the layout and aesthetics — as well as the usability, which refers to how functional the page is.
A good barber website is going to look great and be easy to use. All 30 of our example websites pair excellent functionality with strong visual signals, making sure their page looks great, and visitors can easily book a cut or a trim.
The Design
A website’s design is the packaging of the business. It’s often where customers form their first impressions regarding the business.
A website that is designed poorly risks alienating visitors from the start.
It can cause them to assume that because the website is bad, so are the products, or that the owner does not know what he or she is doing.
Using established templates or using a graphic designer are both good ways to make sure your website will be aesthetically pleasing.
The Usability
Good design refers not only to the appearance of the website, but also to its usability, and the overall user experience.
To the greatest possible extent, a website should incorporate design elements that make it ergonomic and user-friendly. This means the website’s functions should be intuitive, sections should be well-labelled and easy to find, and call to action buttons should be bold.
These general principles improve the overall user experience and help to keep visitors engaged. This will translate to users staying on the website for longer, improving the chances they will make a purchase and increasing the website’s SEO.
Now let’s look at 30 excellent examples of barbershop websites and examine what features make them effective.
