How to make a website for a shoe shop

Buying shoes is about fit, so people still come to the shop. What they check first is whether you carry their kind of footwear and their size: wide fit, size 11 for men, small sizes for toddlers, black school shoes in June. A website that shows your range and sizes saves them a wasted trip and brings the question to your WhatsApp.

What people look for on a shoe shop website

• Footwear by person and use: men's formal and casual, women's sandals and heels, kids' and school shoes, sports shoes, chappals
• The size range you carry for each, including large and small sizes if you keep them
• School shoes: the colours and types schools ask for, and when the season stock arrives
• Your size exchange rule: how many days, and in what condition
• Price ranges, such as daily chappals from ₹199 or school shoes from ₹499
• Wedding and festival footwear: juttis, kolhapuris or embellished sandals, if you sell them
• Timings, and whether you are open late on Sundays when families shop

The pages your website needs

• Home: Who you sell for, the sizes you carry, your exchange rule in one line and a WhatsApp button to ask for a size
• Men, women and kids: Each section with types of footwear, size ranges and price ranges, with your own photos
• School shoes: Black and white school shoes and socks by size, when stock arrives, and bulk orders for schools
• Exchange and care: Your size exchange rule, how to find the right size, and simple care tips for leather and canvas
• Contact: Address, landmark, 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 shoe shop websites need these pages: Home, Men, women and kids, School shoes, Exchange and care, 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 shoe shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a shoe shop website

• Write the size range for each section; it is the first thing people want to know before they travel.
• Say the exchange rule in one line on the home page and in full on its own page, so there is no argument later.
• Photograph pairs from the side and the sole on a plain background; your own photos are safer than makers' pictures.
• Put up the school shoe page in April with the date stock arrives, and update it in the chat when it does.
• If you stock large or wide sizes, say so clearly; people who struggle to find them will remember your shop.
• Add the shop to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and keep the Sunday timings right.

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 shows your range, sizes and exchange rule, but it can't show which size is in stock today, sell a pair or take payment. For a size-wise stock list or a catalogue where people pick a size and order on WhatsApp, a shoe 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 check if their shoe size is in stock on the website?

Not on the website; it doesn't show live stock. They tap the WhatsApp button and ask for the size, and you reply.

Should a shoe shop website show the size range?

Yes. Write the range for men, women and kids, and mention large, small or wide-fit sizes if you keep them.

Can I take school shoe orders from a school on the website?

The school page can say you take bulk orders and give the WhatsApp number to send the list. The website itself has no order form.

Should I put my exchange rule on the website?

Yes. Write the number of days and the condition, such as unworn with the bill, so customers know before they buy.

Can I show the brands I sell?

Makers have rules about their names and logos. Describe footwear by type and size and use your own photos of the pairs and the shop.

Can I add a size chart?

Yes. Ask AppCub to add a simple size table on the exchange and care page, with how to measure a foot at home.
