Florist Website Design

Website design for florists who want to sell direct

I’m Spencer, a freelance web designer based in Brighton. I build custom websites for florists and flower shops across Sussex and the UK — sites designed to showcase your arrangements, drive online orders, and help customers find you when they need flowers for any occasion.

If your florist website is outdated, doesn’t show the quality of your work, or can’t take online orders, I can help. No agency fees. No cookie-cutter templates. Just a flower shop that works the way yours does — occasion-led browsing, delivery rules that match your rounds, and a checkout that holds up on Mother’s Day.

Before the argument, the plain version: florist website design here means a WooCommerce flower shop you own outright. That’s what the rest of this page is about, and it’s the reason my florist web design work looks different to the platforms below. Got a flower shop site already?

Why it matters

Why florists need a professional website

I’m Spencer — a Brighton-based freelance web designer and former British 800m Champion, using 10+ years of marketing experience to help florists and flower shops across Sussex and the UK build websites that drive online orders and walk-in traffic. Whether you specialise in wedding flowers, funeral tributes, events, or everyday arrangements — I’ll build you a site that does your work justice.

Most of the “florist websites” you’ll find online aren’t websites at all. They’re rented space on someone else’s platform, and several of them are attached to a relay network.

The arrangement is always the same. An order comes in through the network, the network keeps a cut, and you do the work for what’s left.

Worse, the customer who ordered those flowers isn’t yours — their name, their email address and their reason for buying all sit in the network’s database. Next Mother’s Day, the network markets to them. Not you.

I’m not going to tell you to walk away from relay work overnight. For a lot of shops it fills quiet weeks and it’s genuinely useful. But it should be the overflow, not the foundation.

Every order that arrives through your own website is one you keep the full value of, from a customer whose details you actually own.

That’s the entire argument for a site of your own: the second order is free.

The first customer might cost you something to win. Every repeat after that arrives direct, and you’re not paying anyone a percentage for the privilege.

Whether you need an online flower shop, a portfolio site for wedding and event work, or a full business platform with delivery management, I handle the full process — design, development, SEO setup, and launch. Everything is built on WordPress, so you can update products, add seasonal arrangements, and manage orders yourself without calling me.

The florist details

Built around how a flower shop actually runs

This is the part generic web designers get wrong, because they’ve never watched a florist’s February.

Delivery zones that match reality

Your delivery area isn’t a circle on a map. It’s a set of postcodes with different drive times and different minimum spends. I set delivery pricing by postcode so a same-village drop and a forty-minute round trip aren’t charged the same, and so you’re never committed to a delivery you’d lose money on.

Same-day cut-off times

If the cut-off is 1pm, the website should stop offering same-day delivery at 1pm — automatically, without you remembering to change anything. Nothing damages trust faster than taking an order you can’t fulfil.

Capacity caps on peak days

Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas are the days that make the year, and the days most likely to break it. I cap the number of orders your site will accept per delivery slot, so you sell out gracefully instead of taking ninety orders you physically cannot arrange by 5pm.

Sympathy and funeral tributes, handled properly

Someone ordering a casket spray is having a bad week. That journey needs its own route through the site — calm, clearly priced, with a card message field that doesn’t feel like a gift-wrap upsell, and a phone number prominent for the people who’d rather just talk to someone.

Weddings and events kept separate from the shop

Wedding flowers aren’t a checkout purchase, they’re a consultation. I keep that as an enquiry route with a proper brief form — date, venue, colours, budget range — so you’re not fielding twenty emails to find out whether it’s worth a meeting.

Seasonal collections you can switch on and off

Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, Christmas wreaths, Easter. Built once, scheduled, reused every year.

Every florist website I build handles these as standard, rather than bolting them on once the shop is already live. Tell me how your rounds and your peak days work on the first call and I’ll build to that.

Rent versus own

A flower delivery website you own outright

The florist-specific platforms all work the same way — and so do the relay networks and marketplaces: Interflora, Direct2Florist and Floom all take their cut of a sale you generated. A flower delivery website you own does not. A setup fee, then a monthly charge for as long as you want to keep your website switched on. Stop paying and the site goes away — along with your product photography, your customer list, and the search rankings you spent years building.

I build on WordPress and WooCommerce, and I hand it over. Here’s what that actually means:

You own the site

The files, the database, the domain, the customer records. It’s yours, on your hosting, exportable at any time.

There’s no monthly platform fee

You’ll pay for hosting like any business does, and I offer managed hosting from £10/month if you’d rather not think about it. But you’re not renting the website itself, and the price doesn’t climb because you’ve had a good year.

You can leave

If you decide in three years that you’d rather work with someone else, you can. Nothing is locked to me. I think that’s the right way round — I’d rather you stayed because the work is good.

You can edit it yourself

Changing a price, swapping a hero image, adding a Valentine’s collection — these are things you should be able to do on a Tuesday morning without emailing anyone or waiting on a support ticket.

Over three years, a £35/month platform costs you £1,260 in rent on top of the setup fee, and at the end of it you own nothing. That maths is the real reason to build your own.

Pricing

How much does a florist website cost?

Every quote is fixed upfront, so you know the number before I start.

Shop starter From £800

A florist website design with a small product range, occasion-led navigation, delivery postcodes and a card-message field. Right if you’re moving off a relay network for the first time.

Full flower shop From £1,500

Everything above plus subscriptions, gift add-ons, corporate accounts and seasonal collections you can schedule and reuse. This is where most flower shop website design projects land.

Ecommerce and delivery management From £2,000

Capacity caps per delivery slot, driver run-sheets, multi-shop stock. For florists doing volume on Valentine’s and Mother’s Day.

There’s no monthly platform fee on any of them. Managed hosting is £10/month if you want me to handle it, and you can take the site elsewhere whenever you like.

What I offer

Florist web design services I offer

Custom-built, not pulled from a template. Every site reflects your arrangements, your delivery rounds, and the occasions you actually trade on.

Custom florist website

Every florist website I build features custom layouts designed to showcase your arrangements at their most beautiful — full-width imagery, product galleries organised by occasion, and dedicated pages for weddings, events, and everyday flowers. I optimise every image for web so your site loads fast without sacrificing visual quality.

Over 70% of flower orders start on a mobile phone, so every site is fully responsive and tested across iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop. Built on WordPress with an intuitive editor, you can update products, add seasonal ranges, and manage your content without any technical knowledge.

Online ordering and delivery

I build full WooCommerce shops for florists — browse by occasion, select arrangements, choose delivery date and time slot, add a personal message, and pay securely online. Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, and PayPal are all supported.

I configure delivery zones and pricing, same-day delivery cut-off times, and click-and-collect options. Your customers get a seamless ordering experience, and you get a system you can manage without technical knowledge.

SEO for florists

Local SEO is essential for florists. When someone searches “florist near me” or “flower delivery”, your website needs to appear. Every florist website I build includes local SEO setup, Google Business Profile optimisation, proper page titles and meta descriptions, schema markup for local businesses, and blog setup for seasonal content.

Want to outrank competing florists in your area? I offer ongoing SEO retainers to build your visibility over time — content creation, link building, Google Business Profile management, and monthly reporting.

Branding and logo design

Opening a new flower shop or refreshing your visual identity? I offer branding and logo design alongside my web design service — logo design, brand identity packages including colours, typography, and brand guidelines, plus shop signage and packaging design.

Many florists combine a new website with a full brand identity — it’s the most cost-effective way to launch with a cohesive, beautiful look that carries across your website, shop front, packaging, and social media.

Ecommerce (WooCommerce shop)

I specialise in building WooCommerce shops for florists — product catalogues organised by occasion and price point, gift add-ons (chocolates, balloons, teddies), subscription flowers, and gift vouchers. All with secure payment processing and automated order notifications.

Product pages get proper SEO too, so your arrangements show up in Google search and Google Shopping results. I’ll set everything up so you can manage products, seasonal stock, and orders without needing technical help.

Hosting and ongoing support

I offer managed hosting from £10/month — security updates, backups, plugin updates, uptime monitoring. Your site stays secure and online. Already have hosting? I can work with your existing setup. No mandatory monthly fees holding your website hostage.

The difference between working with me and a larger agency is simple: if something breaks, you can message me directly on WhatsApp — not a call centre, not a ticket queue. I’ll fix it.

All of it included as standard. Fixed price, no commission.

Not sure which you need?

Most florists start with the shop and add subscriptions, corporate accounts and delivery management later. Tell me what your week looks like in February and I’ll tell you honestly what’s worth building now and what can wait.

Who I build for

Three kinds of florist, three different sites

Floristry isn’t one business, and web design for florists shouldn’t pretend it is.

Shop florists

A high street presence with walk-in trade, funeral work and a delivery round. The website’s job is to take the orders that would otherwise go to a relay network, and to stop the phone ringing with questions the site should answer.

Studio florists

No shopfront, mostly weddings and events, often by consultation. Less checkout, more enquiry form and portfolio — the online florist model where the work sells itself visually.

Home florists

Working from a home studio with a local delivery radius and a strong Instagram following. The site needs to convert followers into orders without looking like a hobby.

Tell me which you are on the first call and the build changes accordingly.

The process

Steps I take to ensure a smooth process

Four stages, typically four to six weeks from the first call to a flower shop you run yourself.

First

Initial call

You tell me about your shop, your delivery rounds, your peak days, and how much of your work currently arrives through a relay network. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation about what will work for you.

Then

Quote and mockup

Fixed price, no surprises. I’ll create a free mockup so you can see how your arrangements will look before committing a penny.

After that

Design and build

I handle everything — design, product setup, delivery zones and cut-offs, SEO setup, mobile testing. You’ll see progress and can give feedback throughout.

Finally

Handover

Your finished flower shop plus full training on products, prices and seasonal collections. No mandatory monthly fees holding your site hostage.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Get a free quote

Do I have to leave my relay network?

No, and I wouldn’t advise doing it abruptly. Most florists I work with keep the relay work running and build direct sales alongside it, then shift the balance over a season or two as their own orders grow.

Can I move away from my current platform?

Usually, yes. Your product data and images can normally be exported and rebuilt on WooCommerce. What doesn’t always transfer cleanly is customer accounts and order history, so it’s worth checking your platform’s export options early — I’ll look at this with you before you commit to anything.

How long does a florist website take?

Typically four to six weeks from the first call, depending on how much product photography and content is ready. An ecommerce build with a large catalogue takes longer.

Can I update prices and products myself?

Yes. That’s the point. You’ll be able to add products, change prices, upload photos and switch seasonal collections on and off without going through me.

Do you take a commission on my orders?

No. I build the site, you pay for the build, and every order after that is entirely yours. I have no involvement in your transactions.

What about Mother’s Day traffic?

Peak days are planned for during the build — delivery slot caps, pre-order windows and hosting that can take the spike. It’s much easier to set this up in advance than to fix it on the morning itself.

Do I need a card machine or till system to match?

Not necessarily. Plenty of the shops I work with run the website independently of their in-shop till. If you do want them connected, tell me early, because it affects which route makes sense.

Will you do my product photography?

I don’t shoot it, but I’ll tell you exactly what’s needed — shot list, sizes, backgrounds — and I can recommend photographers in Sussex. Good flower photography is the single biggest factor in whether a florist site sells.
