Mobile pet grooming is a type of business that is growing. In fact, it’s a franchise and it’s beginning to boom. Trying to look for a groomer on Google? When typing in the word “groomer” you’ll get a bunch of these “mobile” groomers. Their basic benefit is that they come to you and your pet instead of the other way around, and they charge you big bucks for it. I looked at some of these guys’ pricing the other day and it was crazy outrageous. I would never pay that much to groom my pet, I’d do it myself before I paid that much. Although I am a little opposed to this mobile pet grooming business, people find it convenient and apparently use it more often than not. Looking at some of these websites I also saw that they are generally put together well, which is usually more than I can say for other pet services websites. One thing I saw was because this type of grooming business is a franchise there seems to be a lot more information about the franchise than about the actual service. If I were a customer I would want to see some information about this, and I wouldn’t have anything. Nevertheless, I will still give a general outline of a mobile grooming website for the benefit of others possibly thinking about starting a business like this.

The general outline for this type of website is just like a traditional grooming website with a few exceptions. The extra pages and information are: a page concerning information about the franchise, and a page for pricing.

The franchise page should have all the information someone is going to need to know about the business before they think about joining. If this is too much information to put on one page (keeping in mind that you don’t want to have a never ending scrolling page) then you should possibly have a brochure to send out. If this end up being the case you should make sure to have a form for visitors to fill out so that one can be sent to them.

The pricing page in a mobile grooming website should be a bit different from a traditional groomer’s in a few ways. A mobile pet groomer’s pricing should still depend on a few different things. The dog’s temperament should raise or lower the price as well as any extra services, but in general, pricing should be a flat rate. I saw on most of the groomer’s sites that they charge by the hour. Most also charged a convenience fee. This should always be listed on the site. No one wants to get charged for something they had no idea was going to be charged. Spell out all of your pricing to customers or else you’ll end up losing money instead of making it in your new endeavor. Want to learn about other types of web design?
