Who it is for

Who a small business website
is built for.

01 Businesses without a website

You live on Instagram and word of mouth — and lose people who check you on Google.

02 Owners with an outdated site

The site was made years ago, looks old on a phone and nobody can edit it.

03 Local service businesses

Salons, studios, repair shops and consultants who need calls and bookings.

04 Founders doing everything

You need a site that answers questions and takes requests while you work.

The problem

Why customers pass by
a business without a good site.

Customers check a business online before they call — and decide in seconds whether it looks trustworthy.

01 17%

of small businesses still have no website; 28% of those have no online presence at all.

02 76%

of consumers check a local business’s website at least half the time when choosing a business.

03 50%

of consumers would not use a local business with out-of-date contact information online.

04 4%

of consumers say they never read online business reviews — everyone else does.

05 46.1%

of people judging a site’s credibility mentioned its design look — the most common factor.

What is a website for a small business?

A small business website tells people in a few seconds what you do, where and for how much, shows reviews and real work, and makes it easy to call, book or send a request. It is fast on a phone, found on Google and easy for you to update yourself.

Most customers check a business online before they get in touch, and they judge it by how it looks and whether the details are current. A clear, modern site turns those visitors into calls instead of sending them to a competitor.

What changes for your business

More enquiries, fewer repeated questions, a business that looks as good online as it is in person — and a site you own and control.
