How to make a website for a cosmetics shop
Someone looking for a cosmetics shop nearby wants to know if you keep the kind of products she uses, whether she can find her foundation shade without guessing, and if you make bridal kits or gift hampers. A small website shows your range and sends her to your WhatsApp to ask about a product before she comes.

What people look for on a cosmetics shop website
- The ranges you keep: makeup, skin care, hair care, fragrances, nail paints, men's grooming and accessories
- Whether staff help with shade matching at the counter, and whether testers are available
- Bridal makeup kits and gift hampers, with price ranges and how many days to order ahead
- Whether you take orders on WhatsApp and deliver nearby, or keep items for pickup
- That products are sealed and within their expiry dates, and how exchanges work for unopened items
- Price ranges, so a college student and a bride's family both know what to expect
- Timings, landmark and parking
The pages your website needs
- Home: The ranges you keep, a photo of the shelves, timings and a WhatsApp button to ask if a product is in stock
- What we stock: Makeup, skin care, hair care, fragrances, nail and men's grooming, each with a short list of product types and price ranges
- Bridal kits and hampers: Ready bridal kits, trousseau boxes and festival gift hampers, with what goes inside and how to order
- How we help: Shade help at the counter, exchanges on unopened items, WhatsApp orders and nearby delivery
- Contact: Address, landmark, timings, weekly off, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Tips for a cosmetics shop website
- Don't name the brands you stock unless you are an authorised seller and allowed to use their names; describe product types and price ranges instead.
- Don't write that a product clears pimples, lightens skin or stops hair fall; say what it is, and let customers ask you at the counter.
- Photograph your own shelves and hampers; stock photos from brand websites are not yours to use.
- Write your exchange rule exactly as you follow it, for example unopened items with the bill within 7 days.
- Update the hampers page before Raksha Bandhan, Diwali and the wedding season, and remove old offers after.
- Add the shop to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and put the website link there.
What it costs
- Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- Customers can't add products to a cart or pay on the website; they ask on WhatsApp or come to the shop. If regulars should order from a list of products and prices, a cosmetics shop app is the better fit.
- The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
- A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
- Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.
Questions
Can I list the brands my cosmetics shop sells?
Only if you are allowed to use those brand names. Many shops describe product types and price ranges instead, and answer brand questions on WhatsApp.
Can customers check if their shade is in stock?
They send you the shade or a photo on WhatsApp from any page, and you reply. The website doesn't show live stock.
Can I sell products online from the website?
No. An AppCub website has no cart or payments; customers order on WhatsApp and you arrange payment and delivery.
Can I write what each skin care product does?
Keep it to what the product is, such as a cleanser or a sunscreen, and avoid claims about results. Customers with a skin problem should see a doctor.
Should I show prices for bridal kits?
Yes, starting prices help a bride's family plan. Say what goes into the basic kit and that you can change it to their budget.
Will my cosmetics shop show up when people search nearby?
The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address and timings in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps on Maps.
