List your shop, publish a catalogue customers can search by product, and take orders on WhatsApp — with no website to build.
Most shop discounts are unmeasurable. You put a sign up, sales go up or they do not, and nobody can say which. A coupon with a code on it is the same discount with an answer attached.
A small shop does not need a website. It needs to be findable when someone nearby searches for what it sells. Those are different problems, and only one of them requires a developer.
"Who is near me" and "who has this today" are different questions, and only one of them brings you a customer who has never heard of your shop. The second is answered by your catalogue.
Nobody in a local market wants to fill in a form. They want to send a message. WhatsApp already wins that argument — the real problem is what happens when thirty conversations are open at once and two of them are the same customer.
Finding your shop already in a directory is mildly unsettling and easily mishandled. The instinct is to create your own proper listing. That is the one move that makes things worse.
