5 Essential Pages Every Small Business Website Needs (and What to Include on Each)

Your website is more than just a digital storefront — it's the face of your brand, the hub of your marketing efforts, and often the first impression potential clients will have of your business. But here’s the thing: not every small business owner knows what content truly belongs on their site.
That’s why I’ve put together this guide. Whether you're building your site yourself or working with a designer (like me!), these five pages are non-negotiables if you want to build trust, boost conversions, and grow your business online.
#1 Homepage
Your homepage is your digital welcome mat. It should quickly communicate who you are, what you do, and how you help your audience.
What to include:
- A clear headline that explains what your business offers
- A short, value-driven subheadline
- A primary call-to-action (like "Book a Call" or "Get a Quote")
- Brief overview of services or benefits
- Visuals that reflect your brand (photos, videos, illustrations)
- Testimonials or client logos for credibility
- Navigation that leads visitors deeper into the site
Pro Tip: Use clear, conversion-focused messaging. Visitors should know exactly what step to take next.
#2 About Page
This is where people connect with the heart behind your business. It’s not just about you — it’s about how your story aligns with your customer's needs.
What to include:
- A friendly intro with your name or your team’s name
- A short story of how/why you started your business
- Your values or mission statement
- A photo of you or your team
- A CTA (like "Let’s Work Together" or "Book a Free Call")
Pro Tip: Be human. Show your personality. People work with people they trust.
#3 Services or Products Page
This is where the magic happens! Tell visitors exactly what you offer and how it solves their problems.
What to include:
- A brief overview of your services or product categories
- Individual service or product descriptions with benefits
- Pricing or investment guide (if applicable)
- FAQs to reduce buying hesitations
- A CTA after each section
Pro Tip: Focus on the transformation. Don’t just describe what you do — explain what results your customers can expect.
#4 Contact Page
Make it easy for people to get in touch with you! Whether someone is ready to work with you or just has a question, your contact page should be simple and inviting.
What to include:
- A clear headline ("Get in Touch" or "Let’s Chat")
- A short description of what to expect (e.g., response time)
- Contact form with fields for name, email, message
- Optional: Phone number or email address
- Links to social media (if applicable)
- Location or service area, if relevant
Pro Tip: Remove barriers. The fewer steps, the more likely someone will reach out.
#5 Blog or Resources Page
This page helps you show up as the expert and gives Google something to love (hello, SEO!). It’s where you share insights, tips, and value-packed content for your audience.
What to include:
- Blog posts, articles, or how-to guides
- Search or filter function
- Categories for easier navigation
- Links to related posts or services
Pro Tip: Use this page to educate and nurture leads. Answer questions your audience is already Googling.
