How to make a website for a paint shop

Families planning to paint their home start with two questions: which shade, and how much paint for their rooms. Painters and contractors want to know if you tint shades on the spot and keep primer, putty and waterproofing in stock. A website that covers this sends people to your WhatsApp with their room sizes and a photo of the shade they like.

What people look for on a paint shop website

• The kinds of paint you keep: interior emulsion, exterior, enamel, wood polish, metal paint, primer and putty
• Shade cards and tinting: whether you mix any shade on the spot
• Waterproofing and damp-proofing products for roofs, terraces and bathrooms
• Help with quantities: send your room sizes on WhatsApp for an estimate
• Painters you can suggest, if you work with some
• Brushes, rollers, tape, sandpaper and other tools
• Delivery to the site for larger orders, and timings including early hours for painters

The pages your website needs

• Home: What you keep, shade tinting, estimate help on WhatsApp, and a button to send your room sizes or a shade photo
• Paints and finishes: Interior, exterior, enamel, wood and metal finishes, primer and putty, in plain words with pack sizes
• Shades and tinting: How to choose a shade, shade cards at the shop, and tinting any shade on the spot
• Waterproofing: Products for terraces, roofs, bathrooms and walls with damp, and when in the year to do it
• Contact: Address, landmark, loading space, timings, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

1. Decide the pages. Most paint shop websites need these pages: Home, Paints and finishes, Shades and tinting, Waterproofing, Contact.
2. Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
3. Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
4. Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
5. Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your paint shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a paint shop website

• Ask people to send room length, width and height, plus the number of doors and windows; it makes your estimate much closer.
• Explain primer and putty in one plain line each; many first-time buyers don't know why they need them.
• Describe paints by type and finish (matt, satin, gloss), not by maker, and use your own photos of the shop and tinting counter.
• Put a note on the waterproofing page about doing it before the monsoon, with the months that suit your city.
• If you suggest painters, say they are independent and agree the rate with them directly.
• Add the shop to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile with photos of your shade card wall.

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

• The website explains your paints, tinting and waterproofing, but it can't work out quantities, show exact shades on every screen, or take orders and payment. Estimates and orders happen on WhatsApp; for an estimate calculator, painter accounts and saved shade codes, a paint shop app fits better.
• 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 people see paint shades on my website?

You can show photos of shade cards and painted walls, but colours look different on each phone screen. Ask people to see the shade card at the shop before buying.

Can the website work out how much paint someone needs?

No. The website has no calculator or form. Visitors send their room sizes on WhatsApp and you reply with the quantity.

Should I list paint prices on my website?

Give pack sizes and ask for today's price on WhatsApp. Paint prices change a few times a year and vary by shade base.

Can I list painters on my paint shop website?

Yes, if they agree to it. Say they are independent painters you know, and that customers agree work and rates with them.

Can I use paint company shade card names and logos?

Makers have rules about their names, logos and shade names. Describe finishes in your own words and show your own photos.

Can I add a video on how to prepare a wall for painting?

Yes. Upload it to YouTube and AppCub can embed it on a page, such as paints and finishes.
