Websites for flooring and tile showrooms: your ranges on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first

You already keep your ranges up to date for the online tile retailers. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to score 100 on Google's own test, where a homeowner or a fitter finds the range, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.

What it is like now

  • Customers search by look and size and your site has brand names.
  • Sample requests are phone calls; the online retailers post them free.
  • Stock and lead times change weekly and the site never does.

What we build for tile showrooms

  • Ranges browsable by look, size, finish and price per square metre
  • Sample ordering and room quantity calculator
  • Live stock and lead times from your system
  • Fitter accounts with trade pricing

What it looks like in practice

Customers search by look and size and the site has brand names; sample requests are phone calls while the online retailers post samples free. We make ranges browsable by look, size, finish and price per square metre, add sample ordering and a room quantity calculator, show live stock and lead times from your system, and give fitters a trade login with their pricing.

What a website costs for flooring and tile showrooms

Most tile showrooms need the Growth tier, from €10,000, delivered in 6 weeks, paid 40% to start, 40% at staging sign-off, 20% at launch. That includes your ranges fed from your own system, a page per range, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, 100/100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.

After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, backups, updates, monitoring, unlimited content edits and two hours of development a month, cancel any month. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €350 and the free audit names them.

Typical ticket for a range in your trade is €500 to €15,000; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the online tile retailers covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.

Questions tile showrooms ask

Can customers order samples online?
Yes, up to a limit you set, posted free or collected, with the range remembered for the follow-up.
Stock and lead times change every week.
Read from your system on a schedule, so the site is never promising stock you do not have.
Fitters buy from us too.
A trade login with fitter pricing, saved projects and quantity calculators built for the job, not the room.

Check your own site first

Before you compare quotes

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers

Where is the work actually done?
Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
What happens on day 31?
The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
What does Google's own speed test say about it?
100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
