Forty pages, twenty-two services with a price AND a length against every one, and a booking engine that adds up your service and your add-ons before it looks for a slot — then holds a chair as well as a technician when the service needs one.

Demonstration site. Woodside Nail Studio, LLC is a fictional business invented for this demo — every phone number on it is literally 000-000-0000. The website itself is entirely real and built exactly as yours would be.
Why this design works for a nail salon
Nail prices are comparison-shopped harder than almost anything else on a high street, and almost every salon website answers with “manicure from $25” and a telephone number. This design does the opposite: every service on the list carries its price AND the length of the appointment, and the price list is the main page rather than a link in a menu.
The lookbook is the other half. This is the most visual trade there is, so the finishes get their own gallery — French, chrome, ombre, cat eye, matte, glazed — with how long each one wears written on the tile. Every swatch is painted on loose tips rather than on a hand, which is what a real swatch rack is and which means the picture is about the finish rather than about somebody else’s hands.
The booking engine is the part worth looking at closely, because a salon asks a harder question than a clinic. A clinic books a fixed slot. A salon books a LENGTH THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU CHOSE — an express manicure is thirty minutes, a hard gel full set is a hundred and five, art on ten nails adds twenty-five more — and a pedicure needs one of the chairs as well as a person. So the form adds up the minutes in front of you, then goes looking for a window that long with both resources free.
A gel manicure is an hour. A gel manicure with art on all ten nails and a French finish is an hour and thirty-five minutes, and the form offers you the times that fit the longer number. That is the difference between a salon running to time and a salon running forty minutes late by three on a Saturday.
Six technicians and three pedicure chairs. A pedicure needs both, so it can be refused with people standing free — and the refusal says so in words rather than “no availability”. No fixed-slot booking plugin can express that.
Every line is the price you pay, whatever shape and whatever length. Same price for a short square and a long almond, because it is the same work. It is the page that wins the comparison a customer is actually making.
Every swatch is the finish and nothing else — no hands, no model, no borrowed skin tone. It is what a real swatch rack is, it photographs better, and the site says out loud why it was done that way.
Single-use files binned in front of you. What a removal actually does to the nail underneath. Which nails will be refused, and that there is nothing to pay when they are. Thirteen pages of it, and it is what turns a browser into a booking.
Screenshots from the live site
These are screenshots of the real website, taken from the live demo. Nothing here is a mockup — open it yourself and every one of these pages loads.
Mobile first, not mobile afterthought
Local service searches are overwhelmingly done on phones, so the phone layout is the one we design first and test hardest. Text stays readable without zooming, the phone number stays reachable with a thumb, and nothing needs a horizontal scroll.
Every page, listed
40 indexable pages, each with its own title, description, structured data and a place in the sitemap. That is 40 chances to appear in a search instead of one.
Included — not an add-on
PHP and MySQL, written from scratch — no plugin, no monthly SaaS fee, no per-booking commission, no third party owning your client list. It runs on the same hosting as the website.
The software runs on your own hosting and belongs to you. There is no monthly licence, no per-booking commission and no third party holding your customer list — which over a few years is usually worth more than the price of the website.
What $890 covers
You get the same structure and design system with your business in it — your name, logo, colours, photographs, services, prices and locations, and every page rewritten for you. Two businesses starting from this design do not end up looking like each other.
Pages you do not need come out. Pages you need that are not there can be added at $90 each. The local SEO — titles, descriptions, structured data and the copy itself — is retargeted from Woodside to wherever you actually work.

Questions
Services are data, not code. Every one is a row with a name, a price, a length, whether it needs a chair, which skill it needs and how long until it wants seeing again. Adding, renaming or repricing one is a screen, and everything on the website that quotes it — the price list, the service pages, the structured data and the booking form — changes with it.
That is the whole point of it. Each add-on carries its own minutes and its own price and says which services it may attach to. The visitor sees the total being built, and the calendar searches for a window of exactly that length. It is the one thing an off-the-shelf booking plugin gets wrong.
The engine holds a SET of resources for a window and every one of them has to be free. The demo uses three pedicure chairs against six technicians, so a pedicure can be refused while people are standing free. A wax room, a dryer, a shampoo bowl or one particular machine is the same shape.
A database transaction that locks the day it is deciding about and re-runs the whole allocation before committing — not a unique index, because “these two appointments overlap” cannot be expressed as one when the lengths differ. We tested it by firing simultaneous bookings at the same window: exactly one succeeded and the rest were told honestly that it had gone.
A day view with the length of every appointment, the technician and the chair; a fortnight ahead in booked minutes; a client list; and a “due to come back” queue driven by each service’s own cadence. A manager sees all of it and a technician sees their own column, because the notes box holds things clients would rather not share with the whole shop.
Yes. The header loop is generated for your shop the same way the photographs are, and it sits behind a still poster so it never costs you anything in page speed — the poster is what the browser measures, and the loop starts after it.
