Niche website page: catteries and pet care

Who this is for

This page is for catteries, pet boarding providers, pet sitters and animal care businesses.

It is a good fit for pet care businesses that need trust, clear policies, facilities information and easy enquiry routes.

For pet care, trust is the main selling point. The website should answer safety, care, pricing, visiting and booking questions before the customer phones.

Developer-led, not an agency package

Written and maintained by Andrew Crawford

Crawford Software Works is a developer-led business based in Central Scotland. Andrew Crawford works directly on websites, WordPress builds, PHP/MySQL systems, admin panels, dashboards, databases and workflow tools.

The aim is to give small businesses a proper online presence from around £500 when the brief is compact, while still supporting larger custom builds when the project needs more technical depth.

Pricing position

Affordable small websites, with room to grow

Small-business websites can start from around £500 when the scope is compact and clear. WordPress is often a sensible lower-cost option for service pages, blogs, galleries and simple editing.

Clean custom websites and PHP/MySQL systems usually start higher because they include more planning, coding, testing and future flexibility. Larger builds can be staged so the business is not forced into everything at once.

Not a generic agency package

Direct developer-led work

Crawford Software Works is not trying to be a full-service marketing agency. The strength is practical web design, WordPress, PHP/MySQL development, databases, dashboards, admin panels, booking/enquiry flows and automation.

That makes it suitable for small business websites and for more technical custom jobs where the website needs to become a working business tool.

Questions

Common questions

Can a cattery website include booking requests?

Yes. Booking requests can start as a simple enquiry flow and later become a custom availability or booking system.

Can care policies be added?

Yes. Policies, vaccination requirements, opening times and forms can all be structured clearly.

Want a website that fits the business rather than a generic package?

Send a short brief and Crawford Software Works can suggest whether a small WordPress site, clean custom build or staged PHP/MySQL tool is the right fit.
