Small Business Website FAQ

What kinds of businesses need a website?
Every type of business can benefit from having a website. A website serves as a virtual storefront, providing potential customers with essential information about your business, its products or services, and how to get in touch. Service-based businesses such as law firms, consulting agencies, and freelancers can showcase their expertise, highlight past work, and position themselves as thought leaders by posting insightful articles in the blog. Even industries traditionally considered offline, such as construction or manufacturing, can benefit from websites to showcase projects, demonstrate capabilities, and attract potential clients. Ultimately, regardless of the industry, a well-designed & constructed website enhances credibility, expands reach, and opens up avenues for customer engagement and sales.
How much does the small business website template cost?
The average cost of website design for a small business can vary significantly based on size, complexity, features and customisation. Making a website for a small business using our pre-build WordPress template can result in big savings when compared to a fully bespoke solution, with prices starting at around £3.5k, which includes our time to help you set up the pages and populate with your content prior to launch.
Are there extra costs that I need to consider?
Additional expenses will apply for ongoing maintenance, security updates, and hosting, for which we have an entry-level package starting at £69 p/m. This service level agreement is essential for keeping your website running smoothly & safely. Beyond this, additional costs would apply for any customisations, such as CRM integration and eCommerce functionality. Lastly, you should also factor in costs for domain registration and email, which you can set-up via a third-party company of your choosing.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
The timeframe for building a small business website varies based on several factors, including size, content creation, testing and any custom changes required to the template. Our template-based websites offer a relatively quick solution, with sites typically ready within 3-4 weeks if all of the content is ready. For more customized designs or advanced functionality, you should expect the timeline to extend by several weeks or even a couple of months.
Is WordPress good for a small business website?
WordPress is an excellent choice for small business websites due to its versatility, ease of use, and affordability. Its intuitive interface enables easy content management, making updates and additions straightforward for business owners. Additionally, WordPress supports various functionalities crucial for small businesses, including e-commerce integration, contact forms, blogging, and SEO optimisation tools. Moreover, WordPress is scalable, allowing businesses to expand their websites as they grow without significant technical hurdles. While WordPress may require initial setup and occasional maintenance, its cost-effectiveness and flexibility make it an ideal choice for small businesses looking to establish a professional online presence and meet their marketing goals.
What do I need for a small business website?
To create a small business website, you’ll need several key elements. First, you’ll require a domain name, which serves as your website’s address on the internet. Next, you’ll need web hosting to store your website’s files and make them accessible online (we can help you with that). Then, select a platform or content management system (CMS) to build your website. One of the most popular options is WordPress which accounts for over 40% of all CMS websites on the web today. You’ll need to purchase or customize a website template or theme to give your site a professional look. Additionally, you’ll need compelling content, including text, images, and possibly videos, to engage visitors and convey your business’s message effectively. Finally, ensure your website is optimised for search engines to improve its visibility online and consider implementing features like contact forms, social media integration, and analytics to enhance user experience and track performance.
