What makes a small-business website convert

Beautiful is not enough. The five things every site we build gets right before launch — and why they matter.

What makes a small-business website convert

Most small-business sites look fine and still lose customers. The difference between a pretty site and a profitable one usually comes down to five things.

  1. One clear action above the fold — book, buy or call.
  2. Speed: under three seconds on a phone.
  3. Proof: real reviews, real photos, real numbers.
  4. Simple navigation with five items or fewer.
  5. Contact details on every page.

Start with the phone

More than two-thirds of visits are on mobile. We design the phone layout first and the desktop second.

If a visitor has to think about what to do next, the site has already lost them.
