1851 Franchise recently unveiled its Top 40 Franchise Development Websites, a collection of the strongest the industry has to offer. Today, we wrap up our look at some of the best franchise development websites in the business. Here are the top five:
GYMGUYZ
One look at the GYMGUYZ franchise website tells you all you need to know about the brand, and that simplicity and ease of use is what makes it so effective. With an intuitive numbered list of franchise information—one part of which leads the user right to an easy to use inquiry page—GYMGUYZ makes the discovery process seamless. Add in great photography and an engaging video on the main page, replete with distinctive GYMGUYZ color scheme and you have one great franchise website.
Best in Class
A streamlined and fun look distinguishes Best in Class’s franchise site from the competition. Bright colors and a minimalist design keep things fresh and get to the heart of the business—helping children learn. Best in Class’s website makes sure not to hit the user with too much unnecessary information, but a comprehensive form makes it simple to request more details and subsequently begin the steps to franchise ownership.
PostNet
As a franchise brand known for helping small businesses and communities thrive, it is not a surprise that PostNet’s franchise website prioritizes site performance and design. Packed with great information and multiple places to request more, discovering what a PostNet franchise is all about is a breeze. Finally, with a fully functioning web-based franchise application, it has never been easier to get your own franchise dream started.
Snip-Its
Snip-Its franchise website screams fun, and what more could you possibly want for a kids haircut franchise? The Snip-Its site boasts incredible load times and is extremely easy to use and navigate. But what takes Snip-Its franchise website to the next level is under the hood, where stellar SEO makes sure that above all, Snip-Its is easy to find for prospective franchisees.
Smoothie King
Smoothie King represents the ultimate in a well-balanced franchise development website. A truly immersive web experience combines beautiful visuals, a clean interface, abundant franchise information and a sleek, intuitive layout. Finally, a one-of-a-kind interactive map shows the territories where Smoothie King is looking to grow, getting potential owners one step closer to realizing their Smoothie King dreams.
