The cannabis industry is booming, but cannabis businesses still face unique challenges when trying to establish an online presence. One of the biggest hurdles? Finding a web development company that truly understands their needs. From hosting limitations to bloated, slow websites, and even overcharging due to outdated stigmas, cannabis companies have an uphill battle when it comes to getting a solid website built.
At HerbHosting, we specialize in cannabis web development and hosting. We believe that dispensaries, growers, and cannabis brands deserve fast, compliant, and fairly priced websites-without the hassle. Let's dive into the biggest issues cannabis businesses face when developing a website and how to solve them.
1. Finding a Safe and Compliant Hosting Provider
One of the biggest struggles for cannabis businesses is simply finding a place to host their website. Many mainstream hosting providers refuse to work with cannabis companies due to outdated federal restrictions and lingering stigmas. This can lead to businesses suddenly losing their websites overnight when a hosting provider decides they no longer want to serve the industry.
The Solution:
At HerbHosting, we are 100% cannabis-friendly. We proudly support cannabis entrepreneurs and provide secure, reliable hosting that won't disappear on you. No shady policies, no sudden takedowns-just solid web hosting built for the cannabis industry.
2. Slow, Bloated Websites That Hurt SEO
Speed matters—a slow website kills traffic and destroys search engine rankings. Unfortunately, many web development companies use outdated content management systems (CMS) or overload sites with unnecessary plugins and scripts that bog down performance. A sluggish website can lead to frustrated visitors and lower search rankings on Google.
The Solution:
We build every cannabis website from the ground up, by hand. No bloated software, no unnecessary add-ons—just clean, optimized code designed for speed and responsiveness. This ensures your dispensary or cannabis brand has a fast-loading website that ranks well in search engines and provides a seamless user experience.
3. Overpriced Web Development (Due to Stigmas)
Let's face it—some developers hear cannabis or marijuana and automatically assume businesses are rolling in cash. Many companies overcharge cannabis businesses, citing risks or compliance fees that don't actually exist. This can leave business owners stuck paying outrageous prices for a basic website.
The Solution:
At HerbHosting, we believe in fair pricing. Just because you're in the cannabis industry doesn't mean you should be gouged for a simple website. We offer transparent, affordable pricing for dispensaries, growers, and cannabis brands. No hidden fees, no industry upcharges—just great web development at a fair price.
4. Not Knowing Where to Start
Many cannabis entrepreneurs are experts in their field—but have no idea how to get started with a website. And that's okay! After all, you wouldn't expect a web developer to know how to cultivate top-tier cannabis or run a dispensary.
The Solution:
We handle everything for you—from domain registration to hosting, design, development, and maintenance. Our team works closely with cannabis business owners to create a professional, easy-to-use website that fits their brand and needs. Whether you need a simple informational site or a full dispensary menu integration, we've got you covered.
