Is Zarla a web design agency?
No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
How much does spa website design cost?
Web designers who publish prices for spa sites charge $99 to $199 a month after a $247 to $497 setup at a spa-only agency, $230 to $425 and up a month with no setup fee at a subscription agency, $599 a month at a subscription company, $1,695 one-time plus $150 a month at a spa-and-esthetician studio, and from $1,200, $2,550 or $3,500 for a one-time build at the studios with a day spa page; a cost guide puts a freelancer's day spa site at $3,600 to $6,000 and an agency's spa site at $8,700 to $26,100. Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
What should a spa website have?
A book button and your hours in the first screen, the treatment menu with lengths and prices, your spa day packages and memberships beside the single visit, gift cards one tap away, real photos of your rooms, your therapists and their licenses, the practical lines a first-time guest looks for (parking, what to wear, how early to arrive, your cancellation policy), and your reviews. In the US, massage therapists and estheticians are licensed by each state's board, and who may inject or run a laser is set by each state, usually its medical and nursing boards; check with your state board for what a spa must display and never describe a treatment as medical unless it is. Zarla adds treatment and neighborhood pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
How long does a spa website take?
Web designers who publish timelines for spa sites quote 72 hours from receiving your assets at a spa-only agency, 10 working days at a web shop, 30–60 days at a spa-and-esthetician studio and 6–9 weeks at a Charlotte-area agency; a cost guide says 4–10 weeks. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
Can guests book a treatment online and pay a deposit?
Yes. Customers book appointments or service calls from your website; bookings sync to Google Calendar, and you can take a deposit or full payment through your own Stripe account. Offer each treatment as a bookable slot, and ask for a deposit on spa days and couples packages, where a no-show empties a room for an afternoon.
Can a spa sell gift cards and memberships from its website?
Gift cards, yes. Sell branded digital gift cards from your website; recipients get them by email and you track every sale, balance and redemption. Memberships and packages go on the menu beside the single-visit price, with what a member gets and how often; the recurring charge itself stays with your booking or point-of-sale software.
I already have a spa website. Can I move it?
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
