Business site
Up to five pages with a light CMS you can edit yourself — everything an SMB needs to look established.
What it is
In plain English
A business site is a proper multi-page website — typically up to five pages like Home, About, Services, and Contact — with a light content management system (CMS) so you can update text and images yourself without phoning a developer. You can add an optional blog to publish news or articles.
It's the natural step up from a one-pager: room to explain what you do properly, build trust with an About and proof, and give each service its due. It's what most established small businesses need — enough substance to be taken seriously, without the cost and complexity of a big custom build.
When you need it
Is this you?
You need this when a single page no longer does you justice — you have several services or a story to tell, and you want to keep the content fresh yourself.
- You've outgrown a one-pager and need real space for your services and story.
- You want to edit your own content — prices, team, news — without paying for every change.
- Customers expect a proper website before they'll trust you with real money.
- You'd like a simple blog to post updates, tips or news.
How we build it
What actually happens
- 1
Plan the pages
We map the handful of pages you need and what each one must achieve, so the site has a clear shape before we design anything.
- 2
Design the look
We design a clean, consistent style across the pages — built mobile-first — and get your sign-off before building.
- 3
Build with a CMS
We build the pages and wire in a light CMS, so you can change wording, swap images and add blog posts yourself, safely.
- 4
Content and SEO
We help shape the copy, add per-page SEO so each page can rank, and make sure it all loads fast and reads well.
- 5
Launch and train you
We deploy it, walk you through editing it yourself, and hand over a site you fully own.
Example
How it plays out in practice
A small accounting firm in Centurion has a one-page site that just lists a phone number. They offer several services — tax, payroll, company registrations — and want to publish tips during tax season without phoning a developer every time.
- 1
We plan five pages
Home, About (the team and their credentials), Services (broken out properly), a Tax-tips blog, and Contact — each with a clear job to do.
- 2
We design and build it
A clean, trustworthy look that suits an accounting firm, built mobile-first, with each service explained on its own part of the site.
- 3
They get a CMS
During tax season the office manager logs in and publishes “5 things to do before 31 October” herself — no developer, no invoice for the change.
- 4
Each page can rank
Per-page SEO means searches like “tax practitioner Centurion” or “payroll services” can find the right page, not just the homepage.
- 5
Live in three weeks
They launch with all five pages and two tax-tip articles, and the team is trained to keep it current.
The firm goes from a bare phone number to an established, self-editable site that explains every service and quietly brings in tax-season enquiries — without a developer in the loop for every update.
What we'd need from you
To get started
- Your brand — logo, colours, any existing style.
- The content for each page, or bullet points we can shape (we'll guide you).
- Any photos of your team, work or premises.
- Your domain and current hosting details, if you have them.
- A sense of whether you want a blog from day one.
Timeline
How long it takes
A business site typically goes live in two to four weeks, depending on scope and how quickly your content is ready.
What can affect that:
- Content is the usual hold-up — pages we're waiting on words or photos for can't be finished.
- More pages, or a blog with several launch articles, add a little time.
- Wanting custom photography or copywriting done first will extend things.
What affects the price
Why it costs what it costs
Every build is scoped to your situation. These are the things that move the number — so there are no surprises on the call.
- Number of pages
- Up to five is the standard. More pages, each needing design and content, move the number up.
- CMS scope
- Editing text and images is included. Making complex, repeating content types editable is more to set up.
- Design level
- A polished, consistent design is included. Bespoke illustration, animation or a new brand identity is extra.
- Blog and integrations
- A simple blog is light. Newsletter sign-ups, booking tools or other integrations each add a bit.
- Copy support
- We shape and polish what you provide. Writing pages from scratch is an add-on.
