Small business website design

A business website that explains your services and brings in work

For service businesses, studios and independent practices that need more than one page: services, proof, pricing and a way to get in touch. Structure, design, build and a CMS you can run yourself — four to six weeks.

  • from $3,500
  • 4–6 weeks
  • First concept in 5 business days
  • Fixed quote before the build

Who this is for

  • You sell several services and each one deserves its own page, its own proof and its own search traffic.
  • Referrals bring you work, but there is nothing online that closes the people who look you up afterwards.
  • Your current site is a single page that cannot grow without turning into a scroll of noise.
  • You want to add and edit content yourself, without paying a developer for a paragraph.

What you get

  • Information architecture: which pages exist, what each one is for, how visitors move between them
  • Copy structure for every page and editing of the text you supply
  • Custom design system — type scale, colour, components — so new pages stay consistent
  • Five to seven pages built and responsive, tested on real devices
  • A CMS you edit yourself: text, images, prices, team, services
  • Contact forms routed where you actually read messages
  • SEO structure: unique titles and descriptions, headings, sitemap, structured data, internal linking
  • Analytics with goals, plus a recorded walkthrough of your own admin panel

What it does not include

  • Ongoing SEO campaigns and link building — the structure is built correctly, the campaign is a separate service
  • Content production at volume: blog articles, photography, video
  • Online payments and a product catalogue — that is the ecommerce package
  • Custom application logic such as accounts, dashboards or bookings — that is custom development

How it runs

Discovery

5–7 days

Audience, services, competitors and the material you already have. Output: sitemap, page structures, scope and a fixed quote.

Design

1–2 weeks

Key templates first — home, service page, proof page — then the rest inherit the system. Revisions inside agreed rounds.

Build

2–3 weeks

Development, CMS wiring, responsive states, forms, performance work.

QA and launch

3–5 days

Cross-device QA, analytics and goals, domain and email, handover of everything plus a walkthrough video.

  • Fixed scope and fixed price agreed before the build starts
  • A defined number of revision rounds — no vague “unlimited”
  • 50% deposit on small projects, milestone payments on larger ones
  • Full rights, source files and accounts transfer on final payment

Questions

How many pages are included?

Five to seven in the Base package at from $3,500. Ten to fifteen pages with several content types and CRM integration moves it to Standard. I quote the exact number before we start, so adding a page later is a priced change rather than a surprise.

Will I be able to update it without you?

Yes — that is the point of the CMS. You edit text, images, prices, services and team members from any device. I record a walkthrough of your specific admin panel so you are not reading generic documentation.

Do you handle SEO?

The structural part is included: clean architecture, unique metadata, correct headings, sitemap, structured data, internal links and fast pages. Ongoing keyword campaigns, content production and link building are a separate engagement.

What if I need a shop later?

The design system and CMS are built to extend. Adding a catalogue and checkout later is quoted as its own project, but nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch to make room for it.

Who owns the site?

You do — fully, on final payment. Domain, hosting account, repository or platform account, source files and design files. Third-party licences such as fonts and plugins are listed separately so you know exactly what you own and what you licence.
