Get online the easy way
Being open for business 24 hours a day, seven days a week is possible – if you have your own website.
That’s why Direct2Florist offers its member florists – whether newly signed-up or a longstanding member – a fully bespoke website design and build service. The bespoke service means that Direct2Florist will build the website specifically for you, to your specification, with your corporate look and the pages/features that you want.
Direct2Florist can also provide the words for the site if required, or florists can choose to provide their own, promoting specific parts of their business or any special initiatives that they may have. And, best of all, the site build is cost-effective, getting florists online quickly, efficiently and with the minimum of fuss – helping florists stay open for business all day, every day.
To ensure online orders can be received easily and securely, the websites built for Direct2Florist members link through to the individual shop’s page on the Direct2Florist website, which can be easily updated by each shop using their Florist Manager software. What’s more, you’ll also be able to receive orders via www.florist2florist.com.
One florist that has recently taken advantage of the bespoke website build service is Blooms of Belfast – visit www.bloomsofbelfast.co.uk to see more.
Carol Davidson at Tulipa Florist in North Berwick, southern Scotland, told us: "I chose to have my website – www.tulipaflorist.co.uk – built by Direct2Florist because the cost was reasonable and the process of getting it up and running was very simple and straightforward. The service I receive from Direct2Florist is always very good and the website build was no exception, with the work completed really quickly."
"My website is a great marketing tool and whilst I do get orders online, I get loads of people calling us to place an order who have found us on the Internet, having searched for florists in this area. That’s why I recently asked Direct2Florist to upgrade the site to include wedding and funeral sections, as that’s a big part of our business and the website is helping it to grow."
Secure payment for you and your customers
The websites we build for florists utilise Direct2Florist’s latest payment technology, meaning that the bespoke websites we build links to your page on Direct2florist thereby offering your customers an easy and secure to order flowers from you.
Our new payment processing set-up, which you’ve no doubt heard all about, means you will receive payment for an order directly into your bank or PayPal account from customers wherever they are in the world. This rapid service means that you don’t need to worry about declining card payments or card processing fees – you don’t even need a PDQ machine for Direct2Florist orders.
Your customers, on the other hand, can place an order knowing that their transaction and personal details are safe and sound.
"Our service at Direct2Florist is all about simplicity for florists and consumers. Therefore, we want to make it as simple as possible for florists to get online with a professional, great looking site that does them proud, without the hassle of sourcing a website development company and certainly without the cost," says Simon Stirling, Direct2Florist’s Managing Director. "It’s straightforward and cost-effective, which is how our florists have told us they like it, with the websites able to be made as simple or as complicated as florists want – florists are in control."

Westheads already had a nice colour scheme of green and cream and this was utilised in the new design to keep some consistency for customers.

What our florists say about us...
-
As an established florist we had a website, but I knew we had to become an ecommerce website in 2014. I did my research regarding cost and professional looking sites.
Eventually, we decided to go with Direct2Florist. Why?
Great price, professional examples of website, listened to what WE wanted for OUR site, I received clear and concise training/support, while building OUR business profile and adding OUR products. I was so impressed that I have decided to change my relay organisation.
I am going with Direct2Florist, because I know Simon is Direct2Florist, "hands on" plus a great support team. I am a very happy customer.
I have no problem in recommending Direct2Florist for all your technical support/needs.
Thank you Simon
