Website builder for nail salons
The treatment list with prices and how long each takes, the work itself, and a booking that holds the slot.
For most clients the treatment, what it costs and how long it takes are the decision, which makes the price list the part of the page that gets read.
Describe the salon and that list is built as real data with a gallery beside it, and the booking form holds the slot and refuses once it's full.
What they came for
What people want from a nail salon website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
What does it cost, and how long am I there?
Price and duration are both columns on the treatments table, so gel, acrylics and a full set read as three real options rather than one paragraph of caveats.
Do I like their work?
The gallery is the price list's other half. It is planned in as a set, and adding this week's photographs takes seconds in the editor.
Can I book the exact treatment I want?
The booking form's service list is filled from your treatments table, so it can never offer something you've stopped doing. The slot is held and refused once taken.
Where are you and when are you open?
Address, map and hours day by day, on the home page rather than behind a contact link.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on nail salon websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
Treatment names without times
A client is booking time as well as a treatment. Without the duration, the appointment has to be arranged by phone.
The gallery mixes your work with the internet's
A downloaded image among your own work makes the rest of the set harder to read as yours. Photographs from your own table keep it consistent.
No mention of removals or repairs
Soak-offs and repairs come up in a lot of enquiries. Answering them on the page — what's included, how soon — saves the call.
What gets built
What a nail salon website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for nail salons, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a nail salon with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most nail salons need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Bookings hold the slot against the capacity you set and stop accepting once it's full, so the site can't promise a time you can't keep.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“Beautiful nails in a relaxing environment.”
Specific
“Gel, acrylics and hand-painted nail art. Full set two hours, infills an hour and a quarter.”
The duration is what a client needs before she can fit the appointment in.
General
“Prices vary depending on the design.”
Specific
“Gel from £30. Nail art from £5 a nail, priced when you show us the photo.”
A floor and a rule are easier to plan around than "varies".
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for nail salons
- Can I show how long each treatment takes?
- Yes. Duration is one of the columns the treatments table carries by default, alongside the price and the description, and the page shows what's in it.
- Can clients book a specific treatment?
- Yes — the booking form's service list is filled from your treatments table, so it can't offer something you no longer do. The slot is held, and it stops accepting once full.
- Can I add photos of the work as I go?
- Yes. The gallery is edited by clicking it on the page; adding a photo takes seconds and publishing puts it live.
- Can I show a price that depends on length or design?
- Yes. The treatments table's columns are yours, so "from" pricing, a design surcharge or a soak-off line are rows and columns rather than a note at the bottom of the page.
- Can I add photographs from my phone?
- Yes. Click the gallery in the editor, add the images, publish. They are optimised for you rather than being served at whatever size the camera produced.
- Does the site work if someone finds it in a search?
- It is built to: the page is real HTML compiled ahead of time with the treatments and prices as text on the page, not drawn by a script after the fact.
Where this isn't the right tool
There is no card payment or deposit-taking on the page, and no automatic reminders. If no-shows are the problem you are solving, keep your booking app and let the site embed it. Sitemo is what gets somebody to open it.
