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.
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.
- One clear action above the fold — book, buy or call.
- Speed: under three seconds on a phone.
- Proof: real reviews, real photos, real numbers.
- Simple navigation with five items or fewer.
- 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.
