A gift shop website from ROVQIX costs $349 to $1,290 and takes about a week. It covers what you stock, gift wrapping and local delivery, corporate gifting enquiries and seasonal hours that stay accurate through the holiday period.
Gift shops make a disproportionate share of their year in about six weeks. The website should be built around that reality.
One-page site
Live and working
Domain and content
Care plan is monthly
Extended holiday hours updated by you, since this is when getting it wrong costs the most.
Brands and categories, so someone hunting a specific maker can find you.
Whether you wrap, whether you deliver locally, and cut-off dates before major holidays.
Bulk and corporate enquiries, which most independent gift shops never advertise and could.
A simple request to hold an item, which suits gift buying well.
New stock as it arrives, pulled in automatically so the site never looks neglected.
With extended hours, delivery cut-offs and gift guides that you can turn on and off yourself.
For most independent gift shops, yes, and almost none advertise it. A single corporate order of fifty items can equal a good trading day, with none of the individual-customer overhead.
A simple page stating that you do it, with a minimum order, wrapping and delivery options, and an enquiry form, is usually enough to start generating those enquiries.
Usually not, unless you have something distinctive people specifically seek out. Being findable, showing what you stock and offering local pickup or hold is enough for most gift shops.
Yes, that is designed in. Hours, gift guides and notices are all self-service, because in December you cannot wait on anyone else to change something.
On curation, wrapping, local delivery and the fact that someone can get it today. The website's job is to make those advantages visible rather than trying to compete on price or range.
It is a template we adapt to your business — your colours, photos, services and words. It is not a custom design from scratch, which is what makes $349 possible. If you want fully custom, that starts around $2,500 and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your work or your shop, your services and prices, and your opening hours. If you do not have photos, we will tell you what to take with a phone — it is usually enough.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold your site hostage on a care plan.
You keep the site and the domain. You would need to arrange your own hosting, which is usually $5 to $15 a month, and we will help you move it across at no charge.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Gift shops
A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
