Why Your Website Matters More Than You Think
Your website is your visual storefront and first impressions matter—big time.
Let’s talk numbers real quick:
- 50% of internet users won’t recommend a business with a poorly designed website on mobile.
- 38% of people stop engaging if the layout is unattractive.
- It takes just 50 milliseconds for users to form an opinion about your site (yeah, that fast!).
- 75% of consumers judge a company’s credibility based on its website.
- 88% of users are less likely to return after a bad online experience.
Moral of the story? Your website isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” It’s essential!
Your Website = Your 24/7 Salesperson
Your website works for you around the clock—while you sleep, while you vacation, while you take a self-care day. It tells prospective clients who you are, what you do, and why you’re the best choice for their big day.
Social media is NOT a replacement for a website. Instagram and Facebook could shut down tomorrow—where would that leave your business? A solid, professional website ensures your biz stays visible no matter what.
Step 1: Secure Your Domain
Before you even think about designing your website, you need to lock in your domain name—aka your website’s address (like www.yourbridalbiz.com). This is how brides will find you online, so it should match your business name as closely as possible. Keep it simple, professional, and easy to remember.
Why does your domain matter?
Your domain is a huge part of your brand identity. A strong, professional domain builds credibility and makes it easier for clients to find and book you. Imagine a bride searching for you, but instead of a clean, branded website, she finds a long, complicated link or—worse—no website at all. Not a great first impression, right?
Pro Tip: Always buy your domain through GoDaddy or another third-party provider instead of your website platform (like Wix or Squarespace). Why? Because if you ever decide to switch platforms, transferring your domain from Wix or Squarespace can be a total nightmare—think hidden fees, delays, and unnecessary stress. Owning your domain outright gives you flexibility and control over your online presence.
Quick Domain Checklist:
✔ Keep it short & easy to spell
✔ Avoid hyphens or numbers (they make it harder to remember)
✔ Use .com if possible—it’s the most recognizable and trusted extension
✔ If your business name isn’t available, try adding “bridal” or “beauty” (e.g., YourNameBridal.com)
Once your domain is secured, you’re ready for the next step—choosing the right platform to build your site!
Step 2: Choose Your Website Platform
There are tons of website builders out there, but here are a few top options:
- Showit – My personal fave! It’s beautiful, fully customizable, and easy to use. Click here to get 1 month free with code “bridalbabe”!
- Squarespace – A great all-in-one option with built-in templates.
- WordPress – Highly customizable, but has a steeper learning curve.
- Wix – Beginner-friendly, but not as powerful for SEO.
Choose a platform that works for you and allows you to design a site that reflects your brand.
Step 3: Should You Have a Separate Bridal Website?
If you offer services beyond bridal (like skincare, spray tanning, or salon services), YES, you should have a separate website for bridal.
Here’s why:
- You want your bridal services to shine without competing with your other offerings.
- Having a dedicated bridal site positions you as a specialist (which brides LOVE!).
- It prevents confusion for visitors looking specifically for bridal services.
You can still interlink your websites, but keep them separate for clarity and authority.
Step 4: Design with SEO in Mind
Google wants to rank reliable websites, so your goal is to show search engines that your site is one of them.
Here’s how:
- Make it mobile-friendly. (More than 60% of visitors are on their phones!)
- Optimize page speed. Slow-loading sites drive visitors away.
- Use strong calls to action (CTAs). Tell people exactly what to do—“Book Now,” “Schedule a Trial,” etc.
- Blog consistently. Blogging about bridal beauty tips boosts your SEO and helps clients find you online.

Step 5: Make It Easy to Book You
Your site should guide visitors seamlessly from interest to booking.
Must-haves:
- An easy-to-navigate menu
- A “Book Now” button on every page
- A clear contact form
- Testimonials + real wedding galleries (social proof is everything!)
