For a small business, the best website is not the fanciest — it's the one that loads fast, shows up in local search, and makes it effortless for customers to get in touch. It must be mobile-first, clear about services, and built to convert.
Mobile visitors expect pages to load in under 3 seconds. Faster sites rank better, reduce bounce and increase calls or bookings.
Include these on day one to increase trust and conversions.
Phone number in the header, persistent contact button on mobile, and a clear contact page for conversions.
Service areas, consistent NAP, Google Business Profile integration and local schema markup to rank in map packs.
Optimised images, minimal scripts and mobile-first CSS to keep pages under 3s load time.
Reviews, licences, insurance badges, and before/after photos build authority quickly.
Each primary service needs its own optimised page with benefits, pricing (if possible) and CTAs.
You should be able to change specials, photos and opening hours without waiting for a dev — ideally by text.
Run through these quick checks to see if customers can find and contact you.
