Case Study
Hounds of Hull
A one-to-one dog grooming studio in East Hull with online booking and deposits, run from one site.
Hounds of Hull is a one-to-one dog grooming studio in East Hull. It started life as a quick demo site and moved onto the full platform so the owner could log in and manage her own pages and bookings.
What I built
Hounds of Hull runs on HD CMS, with grooming appointments handled by HD Bookings. Each service is bookable online with a deposit, a full groom, a bath and blow-dry, a puppy's first groom and a nail trim, and the owner runs the diary, the deposits and the site from one dashboard.
The site
The homepage: calm, clear and built around one message, that it is just your dog and their groomer. Booking, services and contact all sit a tap away.
What's included
Online booking with deposits
Each grooming service is booked online through HD Bookings, with a deposit taken up front.
Services as bookable products
Full groom, bath and blow-dry, puppy's first groom and nail trim, each with its own price and deposit.
Owner-run site
The owner was given a login to manage her own pages, services and diary from HD CMS.
One admin
Bookings, deposits and the website all managed from a single dashboard.
Fast local site
Quick to load and built to be found by people searching for grooming nearby.
The result
Clients book and pay a deposit online, the owner manages everything from one place, and the site is hers to update rather than something she has to call a developer about.

How the studio uses HD Bookings and HD CMS.
The site is built on HD CMS, with grooming appointments handled by HD Bookings. The owner runs the pages, the diary and the deposits from one dashboard.
Each grooming service is booked online, with a deposit taken at the point of booking. The deposit protects the slot and the studio's time, and it is all managed from the same admin.
Yes. She was given a login to update her own pages, services and prices in HD CMS, so day-to-day changes do not need a developer.
