5 Things Every Small Business Website Needs

By Websfor99 Team

Your website is your 24/7 salesperson. Make sure it has these essential elements to convert visitors into customers.

1. Clear Value Proposition

Within 5 seconds, visitors should understand what you do and why they should care. Put your main message front and center, above the fold.

2. Easy Contact Options

Make it effortless for potential customers to reach you. Include:

  • Phone number (clickable on mobile)
  • Email address
  • Contact form
  • Physical address if applicable
  • 3. Social Proof

    People trust other people. Include:

  • Customer testimonials
  • Reviews from Google or industry sites
  • Logos of clients you've worked with
  • Case studies or success stories
  • 4. Mobile-First Design

    Over 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. Your site must look and work perfectly on phones and tablets.

    5. Clear Call-to-Action

    Every page should guide visitors toward a specific action. Whether it's "Get a Quote," "Book a Call," or "Shop Now"—make it obvious and easy.

    Bonus: Fast Loading Speed

    None of the above matters if your site takes forever to load. Aim for under 3 seconds.
