Tailoring and dressmaking live on reputation. Customers come because a friend wore your gown, a colleague's suit fit perfectly or a school ordered your uniforms. But when someone new hears your name, they look you up. A website with your best work, clear services and an easy way to book a fitting turns that curiosity into an appointment.
I'm Aldrian, an independent web developer in the Philippines. I build websites for tailors, dressmakers, gown and bridal designers, barong and Filipiniana makers, uniform makers and alteration shops. A starter site begins at ₱6,000 a year, all-in, with your domain and hosting for the first year.
What customers look for
Your work
Real photos of gowns, suits, barongs, Filipiniana, uniforms and alterations. Show details like embroidery, beadwork and finishing. This is your strongest selling point.
Services
Made-to-measure, bridal and entourage, formal wear, uniforms, alterations and repairs. A clear list helps customers know you do what they need.
Process and timelines
Consultation, measurements, fabric selection, fittings and how long each type of order takes. Brides and event organizers especially need lead times.
Pricing guidance
Starting prices for common items, or how you price custom work. Even a range helps customers plan.
Appointments
How to book a consultation or fitting, with your shop hours and location.

Bridal and event orders
Weddings, debuts and formal events bring large orders with strict deadlines. A dedicated page for bridal and entourage orders explaining lead times, number of fittings, fabric choices and deposits helps brides plan and reduces last-minute rushes. It also helps you show up when brides search for gown makers in your area.
Uniforms for schools and companies
School, corporate, restaurant and medical uniforms are steady business. A section explaining minimum orders, sizing runs, fabric options and turnaround for bulk orders can bring in contracts that keep your workshop busy all year.
Photos that do your craft justice
Fabric and detail need good photos. Natural light, a clean background and close-ups of finishing work best. I'll resize and compress every image so your portfolio loads fast while still showing the detail.
Getting found
People search "gown maker Quezon City," "barong tailor Makati" or "alteration shop near me." The basic SEO setup gives your pages focused titles and descriptions with your services and location, adds structured data and keeps the site fast. A Google Business Profile with photos and reviews helps you appear in local map results.
Common mistakes for tailors and dressmakers
Only a Facebook album. Hard to browse and easy to lose.
No lead times. Customers need to know how early to order.
No pricing guidance at all. Starting prices help customers decide to book.
Blurry photos. Your craft deserves sharp images.
Booking only by phone. A form lets customers request a fitting anytime.
What to prepare
- Shop name and logo
- Photos of your best work
- Services, process, lead times and starting prices
- Shop address, hours and contact details
- Any uniform or bulk order information
Explaining your craft
Customers rarely know what goes into a well-made garment. A short section on your craft builds respect for your work and your prices: the fabrics you work with, like jusi, piña or suiting wool, how many fittings a typical order takes, the hand finishing you do and how long you've been sewing. If you trained under a master tailor or come from a family of dressmakers, tell that story. It sets you apart from mass-produced clothing and helps customers understand why made-to-measure is worth it.
Measurements and remote orders
Some customers live far away or abroad and want to order for an event back home. If you accept remote orders, explain how: a measurement guide, a video call fitting or working from a well-fitting garment they send you. Clear instructions open your business to customers who could never visit your shop.
