Affordable fixed price websites

Your homepage can introduce your business, and outline the range of services you offer in the town or area that you operate in. It sets the scene, and in many cases it will be the first page that people will see. If they don't like it for any reason, they won't stick around for long!

It is recommended that at least a couple of pages should be dedicated to the services you provide.

Showcase your work: These pages are where you can use a number of images to showcase your work. We will also use these pages to focus on the main town or area that you operate in. Ultimately the content and images that these pages display is your choice.

Expertise: If you have specific areas of expertise or something which makes you stand out from your competitors, these pages would be perfect to highlight those specialised skills and services.

Certifications: Listing any relevant qualifications or certifications could be worth doing, along with the reassurance that you have any appropriate insurances in place.

Contact form: It is also common practice to include a contact form at the bottom of service pages, because this makes it far easier for users to take action there and then and get in touch.

Contact Details: The contact page will typically include your details and links for your email, phone number (landline and mobile if you want) and also links to your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages if you have them.

Whilst your website will be able to provide information about your businesses and services, it is advisable to also make use of landing pages which can act as standalone pages which are very specific in their objective.

Why are landing pages useful?
Landing pages can be used to make it easy for customers to respond to advertisements, posters, flyers, email campaigns, etc., and encourage action from the customer whilst on that landing page, instead of allowing them to become distracted by exploring the remainder of your website.

They’re great for promotions, offers, getting people to sign up to a mailing list, and many other purposes. Their overall objective is to help increase conversions, which in layman’s terms means getting more businesses!

Targeting specific locations
Landing pages can also be used for targeting potential customers in specific areas, towns or villages. For example if you're roofing company in Hertfordshire, you could benefit from having dedicated pages targeting customers in towns such as Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth. That way you'll stand a better chance of being found in the search engines when people from those town search for a business like yours.

Make it easy for people to book an appointment with you. This option will integrate with your calendar, showing customers when you're available for a call, and allowing them to go ahead and book a time slot with you.

It's like having a personal assistant to book appointments on your behalf. Once set up it's free to use, and you'll have complete control over the messaging and length of time slots offered.

These time slots can be used for phone or video calls, for consultations, sales calls, quotations... you name it!
