Websites for curtain and blind fitters
Web design for curtain and blind fitters: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. A measuring service as much as a product. Sell the visit and the accuracy.
Customers buying made-to-measure blinds have usually already tried the cheap route and discovered that a window is rarely square. The value they are buying is somebody measuring correctly and it fitting first time.
The other large market is new-build and rental turnover, where an agent or owner needs the whole property dressed quickly and to a budget rather than beautifully.
What your customers want answered
- Do you measure and fit, or do I do it
- What does a typical window cost, fitted
- How long from order to fitting
- Can you match what I already have in the next room
- Do you do child-safe fittings
Bring the samples to themA home visit with fabric and slat samples viewed in the customer's own light is the strongest thing this trade offers over an online retailer. Colours behave differently at home, and saying so explains why the in-person service is worth paying for.
Not mentioning child safety
Looped cords are a recognised strangulation hazard and there are established safety requirements for internal blinds. Parents care intensely about this and almost no local site mentions it.
Measure, supply and fit
Customers want to know whether you measure, supply and fit, or fit only. Say clearly, and explain how a home visit works, such as bringing samples and measuring every window.
The options, made simple
Roller, Roman, Venetian, vertical, pleated, shutters, made-to-measure curtains and motorised options. A short explanation of what each suits, such as blackout for bedrooms, moisture-resistant for bathrooms, and child safety for families, helps customers narrow their choice before you visit.
If you fit for businesses, offices or holiday lets, give that its own section.
Show it in real rooms
Photos of fitted blinds and curtains in real homes, with the room and fabric noted, help customers picture their own. Close-ups of the fitting and finish show quality.
