Closeby is to store locators what Stripe is to payments - an easy way to get the UX right for your customers without the engineering hassle of getting a million little invisible things right. Configure, design & publish a store locator for free.
Hi PH community!
We built v1.0 of Closeby almost 8 years ago to solve a problem for a family member’s Squarespace site.
They wanted a store locator for their website, but the options available were pretty basic and came with a lot of UX issues.
So we did what design-UX nerds do best: get obsessed with the problem and iterate continuously on our (now 15k+) customers’ feedback.
Today, Closeby makes a bunch of little things about the store locator experience great. Things like…
- Does the map theme (colors, textures, layers, map pins) match my site UI & brand?
- Is the map interaction and scrolling experience easy? What about on mobile?
- How do I load a map and a bunch of locations without affecting my page’s load time?
- How can I add/remove/edit my locations easily?
- How do I make my visitors’ experiences frictionless for things like…
- Getting directions to locations
- Customizing a location’s call to action
- Serving visitors the sites nearest them (…without invading their privacy)
- **Can I solve all of these UX challenges for my site visitors without becoming a mapping engineer?**
Closeby is our proposed solution to all of those problems (and a few others as well 🙂).
I’d love for you to check it out if you need a store locator. **It’s free for up to 5 locations**, so you can test it out and make sure it fits your use case without having to put in a credit card.
