Step 1: Decide what the website needs to do
Most small business websites have one job: turn a visitor into a phone call, booking, enquiry or sale. Write down the one action you want people to take. That decides everything else.
Step 2: Get a domain name
Your domain is your address online, for example yourbusiness.co.uk. It costs about £10 to £20 a year. If you already own one, keep it. We connect existing domains at no extra cost.
Step 3: Gather your content
- Your logo (or order one from £280)
- Five to fifteen good photos of your work, team or premises
- A list of your services and prices
- Two or three reviews or testimonials
- How customers should contact or book you
Step 4: Choose who builds it
You can use a DIY builder, a freelancer or an agency. DIY is cheapest but takes your time. An agency costs more but gives you a custom design, SEO set-up and someone to call. Our guide on how to choose a web designer has a checklist.
Step 5: Plan your pages
Five pages are enough for most businesses: Home, About, Services, Gallery and Contact. Each service you want to be found for on Google should be clearly named on the Services page.
Step 6: Launch and get found
Once live, connect your social profiles, ask happy customers for reviews, and add your website to the directories your customers use. Search engines usually start showing a new site within a few weeks.
