A good small business website doesn’t need dozens of pages. It needs the right pages, each with a clear job. When those pages are in place, visitors find answers quickly, Google understands what you do, and your brand looks established from the first click.
Whether you’re planning a new site or wondering why your current one isn’t bringing in enquiries, use this list as your checklist. These are the ten pages we include in almost every website design project for small businesses.
1. Home page
Your home page is your shop window. In a few seconds it should tell visitors what you do, who you do it for and what to do next. Lead with a clear headline, a short supporting line and one main button such as “Get a free quote” or “Book now”.
- A headline that names your service and your area
- Your strongest proof: reviews, ratings or well-known clients
- Short summaries of your main services with links
- A clear call to action above the fold and again at the bottom
Tip: read your headline out loud. If a stranger couldn’t repeat back what you do, make it simpler.
2. About page
People buy from people. Your About page is where your brand story lives: who you are, why you started and what makes your approach different. A real photo of you or your team builds far more trust than a stock image.
Keep it focused on the customer. Explain how your experience helps them, not only what you’ve achieved.
3. Services page
A services overview page lists everything you offer in one place, with a short description and a link for each. It helps visitors find the right service quickly and gives Google a clear map of your business.
4. A separate page for each main service
This is the page most small business websites are missing, and it makes the biggest difference for SEO. One page that lists every service is hard to rank. A dedicated page for each service can target the exact words customers search for, such as “logo design in Jalandhar” or “web design for small businesses in Canada”.
- What the service includes
- Who it’s for and the problems it solves
- Your process, step by step
- Pricing or a clear way to get a quote
- Frequently asked questions about that service
Each service page should end with a strong call to action and link to related services. You can see how we structure ours on our SEO and copywriting page.
5. Contact page
Make getting in touch effortless. Your contact page should show every way to reach you, plus a short form that asks only for what you really need.
- Phone number as a tap-to-call link
- Email address and WhatsApp
- Opening hours and the areas you serve
- A short form: name, email, phone and message
- A map link if customers visit you
Tip: every extra field on a form reduces the number of people who finish it. Start with four fields and add more only if you truly need them.
6. Portfolio or case studies
Showing beats telling. A portfolio of real projects, with before-and-after examples and a line about the result, proves you can deliver. For service businesses, two or three short case studies often convince more than a long gallery.
7. Reviews and testimonials
Reviews are one of the strongest trust signals online. Collect your best Google reviews and client quotes in one place, and sprinkle a few across your home and service pages too. Use real names and, where possible, link to the original reviews.
Reviews also matter for local search. Our local SEO checklist explains how to collect more of them the right way.
8. Pricing or packages
You don’t have to list every price, but giving people a starting point saves time for both of you. A simple package or a “projects start from” figure filters out poor-fit enquiries and makes serious buyers more confident to get in touch.
9. FAQ page
Every question you answer on your website is a phone call you don’t have to take. An FAQ page also helps your SEO, because people often search in the form of questions. Group questions by topic and keep answers short and direct.
10. Blog
A blog keeps your website fresh and gives Google new pages to show in search results. Helpful articles that answer your customers’ real questions build authority over time and bring in visitors who are already looking for what you offer.
Aim for quality over quantity: one genuinely useful post is worth more than five rushed ones.
Don’t forget the legal pages
Add a Privacy Policy and, if you sell online, Terms and Conditions and a Refund Policy. They’re required in many cases, they build trust, and they’re usually linked from the footer.
Make every page match your brand
Consistent branding ties all these pages together. Use the same logo, colours, fonts and tone of voice everywhere, so visitors always know they’re in the right place. If your logo or brand colours feel dated, a brand refresh before a new website makes everything look sharper.
