A game and hobby shop website from ROVQIX costs $349 to $1,290 and takes about a week. The event calendar is the centrepiece — tournaments, game nights and league schedules — alongside table booking, product lines and community information.
A game shop's website is really an events site with a shop attached. Regulars check the calendar far more often than they check stock.
One-page site
Live and working
Domain and content
Care plan is monthly
Tournaments, game nights, leagues and demos. Updated by you, checked weekly by regulars.
Reserving play space, which is genuinely scarce on busy nights.
Which games you host and stock. Players search by system, not by 'game shop'.
Whether beginners are welcome and how to join a first session. The biggest barrier to new customers.
Upcoming releases customers can reserve, which locks in stock and revenue.
Because walking into an established gaming community alone is genuinely intimidating.
It needs to be editable by you in under a minute, filterable by game system, and clear about entry fees, start times and whether registration is required.
Recurring events should repeat automatically rather than needing re-entry each week — that is the difference between a calendar that stays current and one that goes stale by March.
Singles and preorders can work. General stock rarely competes with the big online retailers, and your advantage is the play space and community, not the catalogue.
Yes, and it helps you plan numbers. Many shops link to the official organiser platform for the system rather than building their own.
A simple request or reservation form is enough for most shops. It prevents the Friday-night conflict over who booked what.
It is a template we adapt to your business — your colours, photos, services and words. It is not a custom design from scratch, which is what makes $349 possible. If you want fully custom, that starts around $2,500 and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your work or your shop, your services and prices, and your opening hours. If you do not have photos, we will tell you what to take with a phone — it is usually enough.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold your site hostage on a care plan.
You keep the site and the domain. You would need to arrange your own hosting, which is usually $5 to $15 a month, and we will help you move it across at no charge.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
