Business card website
A business-card site is the shortest route online for a business. A few screens answering three questions: who you are, what you offer and how to get in touch. It is not a “half-site” but a format of its own: it is built quickly, costs little and closes the basic task — being found and inspiring confidence.
What it is
A classic business-card site has a first screen describing what you do, a short block of services or products, a few arguments in the company’s favour, reviews or examples of work, and contacts with a map. All of it on one or two pages, responsive and with an enquiry form.
The main mistake with this format is trying to squeeze a corporate site into it. If there are many directions and each needs explaining, this is no longer the right format. A business-card site wins precisely through being compact: within a minute a person has everything they need and picks up the phone.
Who needs it and when
A business-card site is needed when a business has to be present rather than sell online.
- Clients look for you in search
People google the company name and find nothing except directories with outdated phone numbers.
- Social media does not inspire trust
For part of the audience, especially in B2B, a social media page does not replace a site with real company details.
- You need a link to point at
Somewhere to send people from a QR code, a sign, an advert or an email signature.
- The budget is limited
You need a result now and for sensible money, with the option to expand the site later.
What the site owns
A business-card site owns your basic presence — and delivers it fast.
- What you do
Who you are, who you work for, what you specialize in — with no filler and no corporate clichés.
- Services or products
A short list with prices or a range, so a person can tell whether it fits their budget.
- Contacts and location
Phone numbers, messengers, opening hours, a map, company details for corporate clients.
- Enquiry form
A request or a callback delivered straight into the owner’s messenger.
- Local SEO
City, district, a Google Business listing — this is where most of the traffic for a small business comes from.
- Responsive and fast
Most people arrive from a phone while on the move — the site has to open instantly.
What launching delivers
A business-card site gives a business findability and credibility for a minimal budget: a person finds you in search, sees what you do and calls. We build these sites so they can later be expanded into a corporate site or a store without being rewritten from scratch.
