Websites for farriers
Web design for farriers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. A legally restricted trade with round-based work. Coverage and rounds matter most.
Farriery is one of the few genuinely restricted trades in this sector: shoeing a horse is limited by law to registered farriers, which is worth stating because owners are told to check.
Commercially, the work runs in rounds by area and on a roughly six-weekly cycle, so the practical questions are which areas you cover and whether you have capacity.
What your customers want answered
- Do you cover my yard or area
- Are you taking new clients
- What do you charge for shoeing and trimming
- How far ahead do I need to book, and what about an emergency
- Are you registered
State your registration plainlyShoeing horses is restricted by law to farriers on the statutory register, and owners can check. Saying so, with your registration, is both a legal reassurance and a straightforward way to distinguish yourself from anyone trimming without qualification.
No coverage or round information
Owners need to know whether you come to their yard and when you are next in the area. Listing the areas and the rough cycle is the most useful thing on a farrier's site.
Services and areas
Explain the work you do, such as hot and cold shoeing, trimming, remedial and surgical shoeing working with vets, and the areas you cover. Say how often horses typically need attention and how you plan regular rounds in each area.
Registration and booking
Farriers must be registered. Show your registration and how to book, with emergency contact for lost shoes if you offer it.
Advice owners appreciate
Owners value farriers who explain. A few short pages on hoof care between visits, signs a shoe is loose or a hoof needs attention, typical shoeing intervals and how to prepare a horse for a visit show expertise and save repeat questions.
Say how you work with vets on remedial cases, what information you need beforehand and whether you offer barefoot trimming. Make clear how bookings work, how far ahead your diary fills and what happens if a shoe is lost between appointments.
Common questions
- What should a farrier's website include?
- Services, areas, registration, booking and emergency contact.
- Should I show registration?
- Yes. Farriers must be registered to shoe horses in the UK, and showing it gives owners confidence before they call.
- Should I list areas?
