New WordPress Web Design: Groomers Direct Nor Cal
Our team at KO Websites is excited to showcase the launch of a brand-new site for Groomers Direct Nor Cal. This Northern California-based professional pet-grooming supplies distributor now has an online store built with WordPress web design that reflects their industry leadership, simplifies purchasing, and supports full e-commerce functionality, all wrapped in a user-friendly package.
Design Meets Functionality
From the very first screen, we emphasized a design aesthetic that speaks directly to pet professionals and the pet-care industry. Soft yet professional colors, friendly imagery, and intuitive navigation all work together to create a welcoming “pet-friendly” feel. We wanted visitors to feel immediately at ease: groomers and shop owners don’t want to fight the website, they want to get in, find supplies, and check out.
The homepage for Groomers Direct Nor Cal presents its value proposition clearly, offers categories like Coat Care, Tools, Health & Wellness, New, Specials, and invites users to shop right away.
KO Websites’ award-winning Bay Area web-design team handled every detail: responsive layout across desktop, tablet, and phone, accessible menus, clean product category pages, and a look & feel consistent with the grooming-professional market.
Full E-Commerce with WooCommerce & More
The site is centered around WordPress web design with WooCommerce powering the shopping-cart and checkout functionality. That means Groomers Direct Nor Cal can manage products, categories, inventory and orders without custom heavy-lift. Cart to checkout is seamless, and the back-end tools let the team handle specials, shipping thresholds, returns and other features featured on the site.
Using WooCommerce also gives flexibility for integrations and customizationswhich we leveraged for payment gateways, supplier POs, tax/COGS reporting and more!
Payment Gateways
We configured a full merchant-account setup that supports traditional credit-card payments as well as alternative methods. The site integrates a PayPal gateway, with Venmo as an option, so customers who prefer those methods can pay easily at checkout. In addition, the Groomers Direct Nor Cal team can accept payments via Zelle for special orders or account-charges, giving them flexibility in how they transact with professional groomer clients.
We also built in logic for additional customization for credit-card fees. Some purchases may carry a surcharge depending on payment method or customer class; the system was configured to support those fee add-ons without manual work.
Inventory, Suppliers, and Logistics
Behind the scenes we built out additional modules so Groomers Direct Nor Cal can manage supplier purchase orders (POs), track inventory, and align cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) and tax-reporting workflows. Because in a professional-supplies business it’s not just about selling—it’s about managing inventory turn, understanding margins, and feeding data into accounting and tax systems.
With WooCommerce as the foundation, we extended the system to support supplier PO generation, inventory status updates tied to sales, and back-end data export for COGS and tax reporting. That means the owner has fewer spreadsheets, fewer disconnected systems, and more integrated workflow.
