Food and specialist retail: Website for butchers
A website for butchers that presents meat specialities, house sausages and barbecue packs in a way that shows customers what the butcher does differently from the supermarket.
What visitors want to know from butchers.
Butchers sell craftsmanship that is hard to show online: a rolled joint seasoned in the back, beef that hangs for weeks, sausages made to a house recipe. A website that only lists product names looks no different from a supermarket shelf. Demand also shifts sharply with the season. Summer is about barbecue packs, Christmas about gourmet sets and hot stone grilling, and each pack has its own ordering rules. Customers search online for what is in a barbecue pack and how many people it feeds. If they cannot find it, they phone, or they order from an online shop that does explain it.

Give specialities their own story
For the products the butcher is proud of, such as aged beef, house sausages or a stuffed joint, we create pages that explain how they are made and what they suit. Not a wall of text, but what helps a customer choose: how to cook it, how many people it serves and how far ahead to order.
Show packs by season
Barbecue packs, gourmet platters and hot stone meat are brought forward in their season, with contents per person, options within the pack and the last order date. Out of season they move to the background but stay findable. The butcher does not have to rebuild the pages every spring.
Choosing leads to ordering
Anyone who has looked at a pack can go straight to an order form with the right questions for that pack. A question about a special cut goes to a contact form that reaches the butcher. A visit ends with an order or a clear question, not a phone call to check everything.
Connected to your software.
Many butchers have a till with a scale, a social media page for offers and sometimes an online shop through a wholesaler or trade platform. We decide which information comes from which source. Prices and range stay in the till where they are accurate there; the website only shows what the butcher has released. Seasonal packs and their contents are managed in the site itself, because they do not exist as a single item in the till.
Price per kilo or price per pack
A price per kilo tells customers little until they know how much they need. A price per person for a pack is easier to grasp. For individual cuts you can show both, with an indication of weight per portion. What fits depends on whether customers mostly look for single cuts or for packs.
Online shop with delivery or collection
Delivering chilled meat calls for insulated packaging, a delivery service that can handle it and a price that covers it. Collection in the shop often suits a butcher who lives from the counter. Some butchers deliver only locally or only for large orders, such as a freezer pack or a buffet.
One site or a catering section
If the butcher also does buffets, barbecues on location or canape platters, that is for a different customer: a company or someone organising a party. They want examples, portions per guest and what is taken care of. A separate section keeps the shop pages tidy and gives catering the weight it deserves.

What we build: pages for the specialities, the seasonal packs with contents and order rules, an overview of the range and an order form for packs. Before the site goes live, we go through it together for an ordinary week and for the start of the barbecue season, when demand suddenly rises and the last order day has to be clear. A catering section and the link with the till system are added once the till keeps the range reliably up to date.
View pricingHosting and careGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan we switch packs on and off by season?
Yes. Each pack has a period in which it can be ordered. Outside that period the page stays up with a note saying when it is available again. Pages stay findable and do not have to be rebuilt each year. Contents and price per season are changed in the same place.
Do we need a photo of every product?
Not every product. Photos help most with packs, platters and specialities, because customers choose those partly by eye. For ordinary cuts a clear name and a short description are often enough. Good photos of the counter and the cutting room show the craft behind it.
How do we show that our meat is different?
By being specific: where the meat comes from as far as you want to share it, how long it hangs, which products you make yourselves and how. Words like artisan persuade less than an explanation of how a rolled joint is seasoned and tied. That detail also helps people find you.
Can customers see whether something is in stock?
For fixed products that works if the till tracks stock reliably. In butcher shops it often does not, because meat is broken down in the back. Then it is more honest to show what can be ordered and how far ahead, rather than a stock figure that is wrong.
Add-ons for your industry.
What often connects to this.
- Enquiry form for butchersAn order form for butchers that asks for cut, portions and collection date on every order, so whoever is in the cutting room knows exactly what to prepare.
- Quotation software for butchersQuotation software for butchers that builds prices for buffets, barbecues and large orders from price per kilo, processing work and cutting loss, so the margin stays visible.
- Scheduling software for butchersScheduling software for butchers that spreads cutting room work over the days before collection, so the counter and the cutting room do not get in each other's way.
