Gardener profile on Websta: what to include for Slovenia

What sections to include on your gardener profile

Your Websta profile works as both a portfolio and a booking page. Start with a clear description of what you do - whether that is lawn care, hedge trimming, planting, garden design, seasonal maintenance, or something else. Customers in Slovenia browse by service and location, so being specific about what you offer matters.

Add a services section listing the main tasks you do. Keep descriptions short and concrete. Include a photos section with images of your work - gardens you have tended, before-and-after shots, or seasonal work. Customers want to see the quality of your work, not stock images.

A contact form and online booking or quote request form let people reach you directly. Choose what works for your workflow - you can offer both. Most of your customers will contact you through Websta rather than searching for your phone number elsewhere.

• Description of your gardening services and experience
• Photos of completed work
• List of services you offer
• Online booking or quote request form
• Contact details you want to display

Languages to publish in

Publish your profile in Slovenian. Most customers searching for gardeners in Slovenia use Slovenian. If you speak other languages and want to reach expat customers or tourists, you can add English as a second language, but Slovenian should be your main profile language.

How people find gardeners on Websta in Slovenia

On the Websta marketplace, customers search by service type and location. They enter their town or region and the type of gardening work they need - lawn mowing, garden design, hedge cutting, seasonal work, or general maintenance. The Websta marketplace shows them providers nearby.

Customers also browse by looking at what gardeners offer and where they work. Having a complete profile with photos and a clear service list makes it easier for people to find you when they search. Your profile appears in results when someone searches for your service type and your location matches theirs.

Registering as an independent gardener in Slovenia

You must register as a sole trader (samostojni podjetnik) or small business with the Slovenian tax authorities if you work independently. Check with the Tax Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (Davčna uprava RS) about registration requirements and what applies to your situation.

You need a tax number (davčna številka) and must register with the appropriate social insurance scheme. Contributions and insurance rules differ depending on how you are registered. Talk to the Tax Administration or a local accountant to confirm what you need to set up.

Payments from customers come into your own bank account through Stripe. You set your own prices for each service. Keep records of your income and expenses for tax purposes.

Photos and portfolio for your profile

Photos are the first thing customers look at. Include clear, well-lit images of gardens or plants you have worked on. Show different types of work if you do more than one kind of gardening - lawn care, borders, hedges, seasonal planting, or patio areas.

Before-and-after photos work well for showing what your work achieves. Make sure photos are recent and truly represent the quality you offer now. Avoid blurry or badly lit images. If you have permission from customers, include a mix of large gardens and smaller spaces to show the range of work you do.

What to write in your first hour

Start by filling in your profile name, location, and a short description of what you do. Write it in plain language - say what services you offer and how long you have been doing this work. A few sentences is enough.

Add your main services as a list - for example, lawn mowing, hedge trimming, garden maintenance, seasonal planting, or garden design. Be specific. Then upload at least three photos of your work.

Set up either an online booking form or a quote request form so customers can contact you. Choose whichever matches your workflow - if you need to discuss the job before giving a price, use a quote request form.

Payment and working with customers through Websta

Customers pay through Websta using card payments, which go to your own bank account via Stripe. You do not handle payments yourself. Set the prices for your services and Websta processes the transaction.

When a customer books or requests a quote through your profile, you receive a notification. You can message them through Websta to discuss the job, agree on timing, and answer questions. Keep communication professional and prompt.

Next steps after setting up your profile

Once your profile is live on Websta, people in Slovenia can find you when they search for gardeners by service and location. Keep your profile updated with new photos of your work and make sure your contact and booking forms are working.

Respond quickly to customer enquiries and requests. The more complete and current your profile is, the more visible it becomes to people searching for gardening services in your area. Check what to do with the Tax Administration before you start taking bookings.
