Florists face concentrated demand spikes — Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas — alongside steady sympathy and event work. The spike days are won by whoever can take an order fastest on a phone, and lost by anyone whose checkout breaks under load.
What florist websites actually need
Ordering has to work flawlessly on mobile on the busiest days of the year.
- Online ordering with delivery date selection and cut-off times stated clearly
- Occasion-based pages — sympathy, romance, birthday, congratulations, corporate
- Delivery area and pricing, which is the most common pre-purchase question
- Seasonal pages built well ahead of the occasion they target
- Weddings and events, which is the highest-margin work
Build seasonal pages months in advance
A Mother’s Day page published in early May will not rank for Mother’s Day. Search rankings take months to establish, so seasonal pages need to exist well before the season, ideally kept live year-round and refreshed. Florists who build in the quiet months capture the spikes; those who build during them do not.
Common mistakes we see
These come up repeatedly when we audit sites in this sector. Most are inexpensive to fix and cost real enquiries while they remain.
- Seasonal pages built weeks before the occasion instead of months
- Delivery areas and cut-off times unclear, which is the main pre-purchase question
- Checkout that fails under peak-day load
- Weddings and events not separated despite being the highest-margin work
How we work
Fixed price agreed before anything starts. Conversion tracking configured before launch. You own the domain, hosting and site outright, with no lock-in on anything ongoing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a florist website cost?
Fixed price agreed upfront, depending on whether you need online ordering.
Do I need online ordering?
For most florists yes, particularly for peak days when phone lines are saturated and customers will simply order elsewhere.
When should seasonal pages be built?
Months ahead. Ranking takes time, so a page published a week before the occasion captures almost none of the demand.
Is wedding work worth separate pages?
Yes. It is high-value, planned well ahead, and researched thoroughly — quite different to same-day gift orders.
