A useful place to start
Small business websites
Your website should help a customer understand the business, decide whether it fits, and take the next step. Start with those jobs, then choose the pages and features that support them.
Build your site01
Build around the next customer question
A service business, independent practice, or small team often needs a clear explanation more than a large website. What do you do? Who is it for? Where do you work? How can someone ask for an estimate or arrange a conversation?
Write the answer to each question before deciding how many pages to buy. A separate service page earns its place when it helps a customer make a different decision. Repeating the same paragraph across several pages adds upkeep without adding clarity.
02
Choose a practical page set
A homepage can orient visitors and connect them to deeper information. The rest depends on how people choose your business.
Services
Explain what each service covers, who it suits, and what information you need to begin.
About
Identify the people doing the work and the business behind the website, using facts you can support.
Work or examples
Show real projects or products with permission and accurate attribution. Omit testimonials unless the client supplied them.
Contact
Give people a usable contact path. A form, booking tool, or CRM connection is a separate feature to define in the scope.
03
Separate the foundation from the features
Wild Logic's Website Foundation covers the shared setup and one Standard homepage: the design system, navigation, responsive and accessibility framework, and deployment setup. Additional Standard pages are separate. Forms, a CMS, booking, galleries, and integrations should appear as explicit items when needed.
A feature should have a purpose and a person responsible for it. If nobody will maintain a blog, a focused set of evergreen pages may be more useful. If your team already schedules work in another system, discuss connecting that workflow before adding another inbox.
04
Standard, Advanced, or custom scope?
Standard pages use the site's established visual system for ordinary marketing and content. Advanced is a per-page classification for more custom presentation and interaction. A site can mix both. Advanced does not mean better; it means more custom.
Logins, customer-specific data, dashboards, custom databases, and business application logic require separate review. Do not assume a more elaborate page classification includes an application.
05
See the choices in real projects
Rucking Realty Group organizes a real-estate team's site around its people, market, and resources. Perez Pro Clean connects a local service site's estimate requests to Jobber. The Perez project was built by Austin Brower and is credited to Battle Bound Branding LLC; the case study preserves that distinction.
06
Plan for life after launch
Your site, domain, and accounts remain yours. Domain and hosting costs go directly to the providers where practical, and Website Care is optional. Handoff follows final payment. Third-party subscriptions and licenses still have their own terms.
Before choosing the build, identify who will update content, renew services, receive inquiries, and hold administrator access. You can configure pages, see a structural preview, and download a working estimate before sharing contact information.

Configure a site without sharing your email, or bring your questions to a conversation.
