You won't regret it!

My biggest advice if you are deciding DIY versus Happytans to create your website is to just have them do it! I attempted DIY first but honestly it took so much time and there was definitely a learning curve. With that being said, once I threw in the towel and upgraded for them to take care of creating my website, they did not disappoint! Gary did a wonderful job and kept in good communication with me throughout the entire process. I know that this is definitely a great investment for my business. It is evident that the Happytans company takes pride in the services they provide. Grant and Gary truly care about your business success! Thank you again!

Grant and Gary are great to work with. They took my vision for my website and exceeded my expectations when bringing it to life! Communication was great the entire process: when emailing them with changes, it was completed promptly, and we launched on schedule to coordinate with my second location. I have 2 different websites with Happy Tans and continue to refer everyone!

Customer Service and Support

We built our site with Happy Tans back in summer of 2021 and have now gone through several iterations with Grant and Gary. Their response time is truly second to none. More recently, I was so thankful for Grant and Gary going above and beyond for us after I was clicking around too much in Google Domains and inadvertently made our site go down. Even though this was self inflicted, they came to the rescue quickly!

I am melting over my website!

Happy Tans blew my expectations out of the water! From the very start, all my questions were answered in detail to make the daunting task of starting a website actually to be not that daunting at all...thanks to Happy Tans! Grant started me off with all the info I needed. The video chat and tutorials are an really excellent feature. Pricing was transparent, no hidden fees. Gary was my direct contact for design and he went above and beyond. I submitted everything right before the Holiday's since I had a little down time and did not expect them to be as fast as they were during that time. I am forever grateful. Did I mention my website is GORGEOUS?! Thank you so very much Happy Tans! Highly recommend to anyone in the biz.

I can not say enough about grant and…

I can not say enough about grant and his team.I had happy tans build my website almost 4 years ago and within a few months, I was the first spray tan salon to pop up on Google in my area. It was definitely a pivotal point in the growth my business and clientele. And over the years one of the main things I hear all my clients say is that they loved the professionalism of my website and that’s why they chose to book with me. Grant has been by my side ever cents as I grew my business and rebranded. Grant helped change my website and update it multiple times. He is so kind I can reach out to him and he personally gets back to me within a day, he has now designed many websites for my friends in the beauty industry, and as even now designing a website for my husband’s construction business.I’m forever great full for happy tans they are stuck with me for life!

Hype For Happy Tans

Happy Tans created a beautiful website for our new business. I'm so glad that I chose to have them build it for us rather than try to build it on our own! They helped guide us step by step through the process of getting the site live. Even after the website was finished, they continued to help and answer questions. The customer service is absolutely the best there is! Gary is super patient and able to understand what was needed even when we were not sure ourselves! The best part is that they know the beauty biz. They are working with businesses just like yours and can offer insights in a way that other website builders can't. I 100% recommend Happy Tans!

Marnie Larkin

Super helpful

Super knowledgeable, patient (as I had a lot of questions) and response time is incredibly quick! Fantastic experience - truly!!!

Jillian Walsh

Beautiful work by caring friendly people!

I cancled my Wix subscription when I came across Happy Tans. I knew the importance of my business website and had the vision of what I wanted to create and portray. However, every time I sat down to construct it - I was overwhelmed - I had vision but lacked the tech skills and precision to execute the site the way I wanted it. I had to stop wasting precious time and energy agonizing over this crucial task in my business. I knew hiring Happy Tans was the solution to this. The price point is incredible for what you receive. My website is absolutely gorgeous and my vision was brought to life. Gary was so easy and pleasant to work with and very gracious about any edits I needed to make.Thank you, Happy Tans!

I was in great hands with Happy Tans and I highly recommend this wonderful business for quality online representation as well as the information they share with business owners to navigate online presence to increase success.

WOW Grant & Gary and Happy Tans Team

WOW Grant & Gary and his team are amazing ! I was so impressed with the Instagram live I watched with Grant through my network group both with Audrey Lyons W/ Salty Beach and Emily Scott with Bronze Palms and knowing how successful they are and they have Grant in their circle and hearing how Grant knows our sunless industry very well, I saw he knew our focus and need, I knew I was in good hands to make the jump to finally pay the money to "Game Change" my website going from a brochure website that looked "just ok" to having a professional website that is working for me. I am so excited to watch it work and show results. Happy Tans has a great team who is very Prompt and knowledgeable, and we are lucky to have them in our industry

Can trust with such a vital part of your business

Been with Happy Tans for several years now.. They’ve always been there when I need them.. updates, links, questions, troubleshooting.. whatever it may be. As a small business owner, it’s a big relief to be able to put one vital portion of your business into someone’s hands knowing you can trust them entirely. Not only represent you but to be there for you when you you need them. Highly recommend!

Happy Tans is AMAZING! I absolutely love working with Happy Tans, their website builder is very simple to use and has all of the assistance you need, Grant and his team are so helpful and have timely responses to any questions I have.

Love my Happy Tans website!

I have had my sunless business for a few years and created my own website. I wanted to have more exposure and SEO and that's when I found Happy Tans! Grant and the gang revamped my website in early 2022 and I have had much more NEW business since then. So easy to work with! If there are any changes to it, I just email them over and they are updated almost immediately. I look forward to my business to continue to grow and I have Happy Tans to thank! Denise- Owner/Nash Tans

Allison Hartz

Best Experience and Decision!

So many good things to say about Happytans! Grant and his team are amazing! Gary was so patient with me. No matter how many times I changed my mind during the design phase, Gary would politely go with the flow to change things a million times until I was happy. Both Grant and Gary are personable, professional and quick to respond to requests. I love my website and I'm extremely glad to have Happytans play one of the most important roles in supporting my business! Thanks for making my website transition experience seamless!

Brittany Jones

Wow, what an incredible experience

Wow, what an incredible experience from start to finish. As soon as I signed up for happytans I had step-by-step videos explaining how to access every little detail of the website which was so helpful. I chose the option of having my website for me and I’m so glad I did. I had a vision in mind and Happytans brought that to life for me. I had the pleasure of working with Gary who was so great and patient with me and all of my small details. I am so grateful that I made the switch to happytans! Thanks for everything, Grant + Gary!!

I am so Grateful for Happy Tans

I am so Grateful for Happy Tans! They have been such a huge help to my business. The podcasts have been a great tool for learning so much about the business as well as learning more about fellow artist. Their website platform is Fantastic. I LOVE it! I am far from tech savvy and Happy tans has been a god send to simplify this for me. They always provide top notch customer service. Anytime I have reached out for assistance they are always there to help, always pleasant and always prompt on the response.

You had me at "drag and drop"

I have used almost every type of website builder (Go Daddy, Shopify, Wix, WordPress) and when you limit cost, the quality goes with it; some were so difficult to create on and modify. But NOT HappyTans. It is so quick to update and whenever I had questions, the team got back to me in under 24 hours with a clear answer (most times a video to show me how it's done). They also offer a done-for-you option where you can get the website done by them, but I felt comfortable modifying and building in platform. The price is a nonnegotiable as well; you'll pay this cost almost everywhere you go for a website that has quality BUT you won't get this level of support without hiring a web developer to do the tasks for you. I sing the Happy Tans praises all day and love referring other tanners to Grant and his team. Not to mention, this website makes me money; my clients tell me so during their appointments. Thanks for creating such an awesome, user friendly website platform.

Melanie Plotner

Don’t hesitate, get a website with happytans!!

I was totally blown away by my website generated by Happy Tans! The photos, colors, fonts, everything is BEAUTIFUL! I filled out a questionnaire about my business, gave them the color hex codes I wanted to use and they made my website BLOOM. I was so excited that I had to show it off to everyone. I’m so proud to say that this website is mine. The entire process was very easy and detailed. Grant and his team are amazing and I highly recommend them!!

Rebecca Matthews

Just do it!

I’m not even sure where to start because there’s so much I’d like to say about Happy Tans but the one thing that I’d really like you to know is that if you are sitting on the fence about Whether or not you should sign up, don’t waste another minute and just do it!!!!! I wasted almost 2 years trying different things, wasting time and money when I should have just signed up with them from the beginning! They took my worries of trying to build a website that was functional and did it all for me. Anytime I need to add or change something,Gary is right there to help! Anytime I need anything else Grant is a phone call away! They make it personable,I’m not just a number to them. Did I mention my website is awesome?!

Jennifer Lampton

Happytans Gets It!

I’ve been using happytans for several years and I can honestly say my website has played a HUGE role in building my business. I have new clients frequently comment on how professional my site looks and how easy it is to maneuver around in it. I love the ease of being able to make changes at any time and if I do run into a challenge, customer service always responds back in a timely manner. Since happytans is geared toward the sunless tanning industry they get it and know exactly what I need. Highly recommend!

Michelle Black

Great Bang for Your Buck

I’ll be honest…I’m very frugal and was reluctant to upgrade to Happy Tans. I wasn’t sure the investment would be worth it….boy, was I wrong! My business volume has *doubled* since I hired Grant & his team to re-work my website. Overall, this service has been one of the best “bang for the buck” for my business!

Chandra Warmoth

10/10 Would recommend!

I'm so glad I trusted HappyTans with my website! Grant patiently answered all of my nine million questions (I am not good with computers) and helped me build exactly what I was looking for. It has added something that I had no idea my small business really needed!

Danelle Green

Great service

I had a rocky start at first with my email getting missed but Grant absolutely made up for it and even helped to create my site due to the mixup! Customer service is great and the website is beautiful and easy to customize with the builder. I highly recommend Happy Tans!
