What does mobile friendly mean?
Mobile friendly means your website will adjust to the size of screen the customer is using - mobile phone, laptop, tablet or PC. Mobile friendly is one of the most important factors that Search Engines look for as a ranking factor, as this means the user will have the best browsing experience on a website. -
Will my website be mobile friendly and how much does it cost?
Yes! Mobile friendly is one of the many great features our websites offer and is included at no extra cost. -
Will you get me to the top of Google?
We can't promise that - no company can guarantee ranking number 1 on Google, nor should they. However, our focus is on building a website you, your customers AND search engines like Google will love - easy to navigate, simple ordering and mobile friendly. This, combined with great content and products will help search engines rank your website highly for the relevant search terms, so the RIGHT customers find you online. -
What is SEO and how does it work with my website?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. SEO is a number of key factors that combined together make a website user friendly and help with ranking for key search terms - so the right customers can find the right website online. For example Search Engines love clear, easy to navigate websites, main pages full of helpful and unique content, relevant and local links to other businesses... the list goes on! SEO is complex and on-going, but our team can offer expert advice to help your business. Our websites are built from the ground up to be SEO friendly, including SEO friendly features such as mobile friendly and secure browsing at no extra cost. -
I don't have a logo for my business?
A logo is a great way to establish a brand for customers to recognise and engage with. If you don't have a logo yet, we offer a free font logo to use on your new floristPro website. -
Do I have to use my own images?
We love it if you have your own product images to use to showcase your floristry style.

Online safety for customer data is very important. Our monthly website package includes a SSL Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer), meaning every page on your website has a high security protection and will show the trusted green lock symbol in the address bar. -
Do you use templates for your websites?
No we don't use templates for our websites, as we believe each website should have a unique look and layout to suit the individual florist. Our clever, in-house built system gives our designers the flexibility to create bespoke websites - no two floristPro websites are ever the same! -
Do you offer exclusivity in my area?
Since floristPro was founded back in 2007, our mission has always been to help florists of all shapes and sizes to bloom online. For this reason, we don't offer area exclusivity to any florist. What we do do is ensure every single website we design is bespoke to the florist - helping your unique style shine online and is a platform to promote your business services. -
