Small business websites

A Professional First Website for Your Small Business

You do not need a large budget or a complicated site. Most small businesses need a handful of well-organised pages that explain what they offer, show their work and make contacting them easy. That is what we focus on.

Who this is for

  • Owners running on Instagram, Google Maps and WhatsApp who want one proper home for their business online.
  • Small teams with an old website that no longer reflects the business.
  • Founders who want to be taken seriously before a first customer meeting.
  • Anyone who has been quoted a price they could not understand.

Social media is not a website

Posts disappear down a feed. A website keeps your services, prices and contact details in one stable, shareable place.

Customers ask the same questions daily

Timings, prices, location and what you offer can be answered once on the site instead of repeatedly in messages.

A cheap website can cost more later

Sites built from pirated themes or stuffed with unneeded plugins are slow, insecure and expensive to fix.

You are unsure what you really need

Without guidance it is easy to overspend on features you will not use or to leave out the ones that matter.

What a small business website should include

Start with the basics and add only what earns its place. The pages below cover most local businesses. Our blog goes into each in detail.

  • A homepage that says what you do, where you are and how to contact you, all visible without scrolling.
  • A services or products page with plain descriptions, and prices where you are comfortable sharing them.
  • An About page that shows the people behind the business. Customers trust faces and names.
  • A contact page with a form, a WhatsApp button, a map and your opening hours.
  • Photos of your real work or premises, not generic stock images.
  • Honest customer reviews, but only genuine ones, shown with permission.

What you get

  • Up to five clearly structured pages in the Starter scope, more in larger packages
  • Mobile-friendly design adapted to your logo and brand colours
  • WhatsApp button with a ready-written message
  • Contact form with email notifications and a Google Map
  • Basic on-page SEO and a sitemap
  • A short walkthrough so you can edit text and photos yourself

Priced and scoped honestly

We list what is included and what is not, including the domain and hosting costs that are paid to other companies.

Simple to manage

Built on WordPress with a tidy editor, so you can change a price or a photo without calling a developer.

Room to grow

Start small. Add pages, a blog or an online shop later without rebuilding.

How it works

4 clear steps, so you always know what happens next and what is expected of you.

Start the first step

  1. Tell us about your business

    What you offer, who buys it and what you want visitors to do.

  2. Agree the scope

    We recommend the right size of website and put it in writing.

  3. Gather your content

    We tell you exactly what text and photos we need, and help where you are stuck.

  4. Build, review, launch

    We build it, you review it, we fix what you flag and then launch.

Relevant examples

Our demonstration concepts for cafés, salons, tuition centres, repair shops, an interior studio and a photographer show how a small business site can look. They are clearly labelled samples, not client work.

Frequently asked questions

What is the smallest website you build?

Our Starter scope is a five-page site: for example Home, About, Services, Gallery and Contact. It covers what most small businesses need to get started.

Do I need a logo before we start?

It helps, but it is not essential. If you have none, we can use a clean text-based wordmark for now and you can add a logo later.

Can I add products or sell online later?

Yes. A site built on WordPress can grow into an online shop with WooCommerce. We would scope that as a separate stage.

Will I be able to change things myself?

Yes, for text, images and prices. We show you how during handover, and we are available if you would rather we make the changes.
