Websites For Franchises
Franchise Website Design That Scales
Consistent branding, flexible solutions, and websites that drive results across locations.
Challenges Franchises Face
Franchises often fall into the trap of piecing together websites location by location. The result is a patchwork of inconsistent branding, confusing navigation, and customer experiences that vary wildly.
- Branding is inconsistent across franchise locations.
- Some sites look professional, others look dated or off-brand.
- Customers can’t find the right location or contact info quickly.
- Local franchisees struggle to update or manage content.
- The website doesn’t support scalable growth.
Instead of building brand credibility, these issues create confusion, and when customers are confused, they choose someone else.
A franchise website should create a consistent brand experience, while giving local owners the tools they need to succeed.
At The Story, we design scalable franchise websites that work for both franchisors and franchisees. Our approach balances brand consistency with local flexibility, so every location looks professional and customers can find exactly what they need.
We start by clarifying your brand story, then apply it consistently across all locations. From there, we build flexible functionality so franchisees can update what matters locally, like promotions, hours, or contact details, without undermining brand standards.
The result is a franchise website that works as one system: trustworthy, scalable, and designed to drive growth across every location.

FAQs About Franchise Website Design
Franchises face challenges that single-location businesses don’t. A franchise website has to balance brand consistency with local flexibility. Without specialized design, each location risks looking different, creating confusion for customers, and weakening the brand. Specialized franchise website design ensures that every site looks professional, scales easily, and supports both franchisors and franchisees.
The key is building a system where brand elements are standardized, but local details can be customized. For example, franchisees may be able to update hours, promotions, or contact info, while design, messaging, and overall structure remain consistent. This approach protects the brand while empowering local owners.
A franchise website should include a location finder, consistent branding, mobile-friendly design, and tools for easy content management. It should also support SEO for both national and local visibility. Features like integrated forms, online booking, or e-commerce (if relevant) can further drive results. Most importantly, it should be built to scale as your franchise grows.
