Why you need a business card website

A business card website is a small site of 3–7 pages: who you are, what you offer and how to reach you. It lets a client arriving from Google, Maps or an ad check your company and send an enquiry.

What is a business card website?

It is a compact site that presents a company or a specialist. There is no product catalogue, no customer accounts and no complex filters. Its single job is to show quickly what you do and offer an easy way to get in touch.

A typical set of sections:

• Home: who you are, who you work for, the main enquiry button.
• Services: one list page on a small site; for SEO, a page per key service works better.
• About: experience, team, company details, licences or certificates.
• Work: photos, case studies, reviews.
• Contacts: address, map, phone, messengers, enquiry form.

Who needs a business card website?

• Freelancers and private specialists: lawyers, psychologists, photographers, coaches, doctors in private practice.
• Small service companies: repairs, cleaning, car service, delivery.
• Manufacturers and B2B companies that need to prove themselves to partners.
• New business lines that need a quick launch.

How does it differ from a landing page or a corporate site?

A landing page is good for advertising one service. A business card site collects more search queries because it has several pages for different services. A corporate site makes sense once you have more than ten services, several branches or regular news and vacancies.

How does a business card website bring clients?

A new site gets no traffic on its own. What works is a combination:

1. Google Business Profile. A Maps profile linking to the site. For local businesses it is often the first source of calls.
2. Local SEO. "Service + city" on separate pages, LocalBusiness markup, the same address and phone on the site and in the profile. In our experience, the first noticeable results appear after about 3 months.
3. Google Ads. Campaigns launch within a few business days after we get access. Enquiries start from the first days.
4. Social media and messengers. A link to the site in your Instagram profile and Telegram channel.

How long does it take and what affects the price?

Our timeline is up to 10 business days after the brief is agreed and materials are received. The cost depends on the number of pages, template or unique design, who writes the texts and how many languages you need. We do not publish prices; we estimate after a short brief. The platform is chosen for the task, most often WordPress or MODX.

What mistakes are common on business card websites?

• All services on one page, so Google cannot tell which query to show it for.
• No address, company details or team photos, which makes the company hard to trust.
• The enquiry form is hidden at the bottom of the contacts page.
• The phone number is an image that cannot be tapped on a smartphone.
• The site is missing from the Google Business Profile.

What should you prepare before the start?

• Logo and brand colours, if you have them.
• A list of services with a short description of each.
• Photos of your work, team and office.
• Contacts, address and company details.
• Domain access or wishes for a new address.

The more complete the materials at the start, the better we keep to the timeline and the fewer edits after launch.

Frequently asked questions

How many pages does a business card website have?

Usually 3 to 7: home, services, about, work and contacts. For SEO it helps to give key services their own pages.

Can a business card website be promoted on Google?

Yes. Local "service + city" queries, a Google Maps profile linking to the site and separate service pages work best.

How long does it take to build one?

With us, up to 10 business days after the brief is agreed and materials (texts, photos, contacts) are received.

Which is better: a business card site or a landing page?

A landing page suits one service and ads. A business card site suits a company with several services that wants enquiries from search.

Can the site be expanded later?

Yes. With the right structure, you add service pages, a blog and languages and turn it into a corporate website.
