A pet store website from ROVQIX costs $349 to $1,290 and takes about a week. The highest-value elements are the brands you stock, local delivery or repeat food ordering, in-store services, and events.
Independent pet stores compete with online subscriptions on price and lose. They win on specialist brands, advice and same-day availability — and the site should say so.
One-page site

Care plan is monthly
Specialist and prescription brands listed by name. This is the main search that finds you.
A standing order or reminder for regular food, which is how you keep customers off subscriptions.
Same-day or next-day locally, which is the one thing national subscriptions cannot match.
Grooming, nail trims, self-wash, nutrition advice. These bring people in repeatedly.
Adoption days, vaccination clinics, training classes. Community events drive independent retail.
A few genuinely useful pages on feeding and care, which is your differentiator over online retail.
On specialist stock, immediate availability, expert advice and local delivery.
Usually not for the full catalogue. Pet food is heavy and low margin, so shipping economics are poor. Local delivery and pickup ordering for regular items is where the value is.
A simple 'order for pickup' or 'add to my regular order' beats a full ecommerce build for most independents, and takes a fraction of the effort to maintain.
For your main food lines, yes — customers are comparing against online prices anyway, and being close plus same-day availability often wins. For accessories it matters less.
Yes, at its simplest as a reminder and a one-tap reorder. That captures most of the convenience benefit of a subscription without the infrastructure.
Probably not a full one. Local pickup and delivery ordering for regular items gives you most of the benefit with far less work and better economics.
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.

Pet stores
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.
