Art and craft stores · Website

Build a site that lists what you stock and sends the order to WhatsApp.

A website for an art and craft store is a set of pages that show what the shop stocks, who it serves and how to order. GullySales works on the page structure, the shopping-list pages and the WhatsApp route, so a buyer can see the stock and place an order without a checkout.

What website means

A website is the page a customer lands on after searching, clicking an advert or scanning a code, and it decides whether they call or leave. GullySales builds and maintains sites that load quickly, explain the offer plainly and make the enquiry form or phone number easy to find.

For art and craft stores

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A catalogue dump helps nobody”

    A page of thousands of items with no grouping loses the beginner at once. Pages by hobby and by buyer, each with a short list and a photograph, let a visitor find what they came for.

  • “The phone is the main screen”

    Visitors arrive from a map or a social post on a phone, standing in a lane or at a school gate. Large buttons, quick-loading photographs and a visible call or WhatsApp button matter more than decoration.

  • “The shop's address and hours are the first thing read”

    A visitor deciding whether to drive over looks for the lane, the landmark and the closing time. Burying these under a banner sends the buyer back to the map listing. Put them at the top of the home page and again in the footer, with a map link.

  • “A website without a way to order is a brochure”

    If the page ends without a button, the buyer must find the number elsewhere. A button that sends the list or the item to WhatsApp is the order form for a shop at this size.

What we do

What we deliver for art and craft stores.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. A site map by buyer and hobby

    Pages for school lists, painting, resin, clay, calligraphy, jewellery making and teachers, each one scoped.

    Result: Every buyer has a page of their own.

  2. A school list page

    A page with common lists and a button that sends the list to the shop for packing.

    Result: A parent's list reaches the counter from the page.

  3. A teacher and maker page

    A page with the rate card, the minimum order and a reorder number.

    Result: A teacher can place an order from the page.

  4. A shop details block

    Address, landmark, hours, parking note and a map link on every page footer.

    Result: The details appear on every page.

  5. Mobile-first page builds

    Pages built for a phone first, with photographs sized to load on a mobile connection.

    Result: The pages open and read well on a phone.

  6. Tracking set up

    Calls, WhatsApp taps and direction taps counted, so the site's use is visible.

    Result: You can see the visitors who took each action.

How the result is measured

  • Page load time
  • Bounce rate
  • Enquiries from the website

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for these art and craft stores.

  • School and college students buying for projects and exams
  • Parents buying holiday craft and hobby kits for children
  • Hobby painters and sketch artists
  • Resin, clay and jewellery-making hobbyists
  • Calligraphy and journaling enthusiasts
  • Hobby class teachers and workshop organisers
  • Small makers selling on Instagram or at weekend markets
  • Schools, event planners and tuition centres buying craft material in bulk

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no stock list that anyone keeps, and a catalogue page would show items the shelf may not hold.
  • Prices change with each supplier invoice and nobody can update a page, so the site would show wrong figures.
  • The owner will not take orders on WhatsApp, and a site that sends buyers there would lead nowhere.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

A website for art and craft stores: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

List the pages that support a buying decision and the actions visitors must complete. Keep examples of failed forms, unclear product information, and questions your team answers repeatedly.

Make the scope clear

Agree the page list, content ownership, integrations, and who controls the domain and hosting. Include redirects and existing search traffic in a redesign brief, before changing addresses.

Check the work in use

Complete a real enquiry journey on a phone and a laptop. Check that the confirmation appears, the enquiry reaches the right person, and tracking records the action once.

Know when to change course

If visitors can enquire but the team does not follow up, start with the sales handover. A larger website will not resolve that delay.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

How it works

How the website work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Build scope agreement

    Your requirements brief comes first, followed by a conversation. We agree the build scope, fee, and term in writing before work starts.

  2. 2

    Access and content confirmation

    We check available content, domain access, and hosting arrangements. You confirm missing material and whether preserving an existing site’s search standing requires a redesign scope.

  3. 3

    Sitemap and design approval

    You approve the page list, platform, and content responsibilities. Phone and desktop designs then go to you for approval before development.

  4. 4

    Test-site content approval

    The approved designs become working pages with real content. You review business details on the test site and approve the content before launch checks.

  5. 5

    Launch approval

    You approve the finished pages and launch checklist before the site goes live. Where an old site exists, its addresses are mapped to destinations you approve as part of this decision.

  6. 6

    Live checks and access handover

    After launch, we test the live enquiry routes and tracking, complete agreed corrections, and hand over documented account access and source files for your acceptance. Further improvements are distinguished from build corrections and scoped separately.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need a full e-commerce site?
Only if you plan to sell and ship across the country. A catalogue site with WhatsApp ordering suits a shop that serves its own area, and can grow into a store later.
Who writes the product text and takes the photographs?
We write the text from your shelf and your counter. Photographs are best taken in the shop with the actual stock, and we give a short guide for staff on how to take them.
Can the site show live stock?
Only if your billing software can connect to it. Without that, show the items you carry and invite the buyer to confirm availability on WhatsApp before travelling.
What if an item shown on the site is out of stock?
Mark it out of stock and offer to message the buyer on arrival, or take it off the page. The craft shelf moves with the school calendar, so a page that lists everything as available sends buyers on a wasted trip.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
