Websites for local businesses
Websites for local businesses with services, prices and bookings
Not every project fits into a specific category. A website can be created to present a space, a service, a brand, an association, a cultural project, a professional activity or a commercial venture. The structure should adapt to the reality of each piece of work, without forcing everyone to follow the same template.
The introductory call comes with no obligation.
Starting point
Simple information, with no unnecessary pages
Not every project needs a large website. Often a compact structure is enough, with good photographs, well-organised services and a clear way to get in touch.
Most visits come from a phone, often from people who already intend to book or call. That action should always be within reach.
Structure
What it can include
- introduction to the space

- gallery
- opening hours
- location and map
- frequently asked questions
- bookings
- phone and email
- real testimonials
- links to social media
Diversity
Local businesses from very different areas
A website can serve a hairdresser or beauty salon, a practice or office, an architecture or design studio, photography or artistic work, an association, a cultural project, a restaurant or café, a shop, a consultancy, a professional service, a personal brand, a small company or an independent initiative.
This is not a closed list. What defines the structure is what the project needs to show and explain to the people who arrive.
Local search
Being found by people nearby
Clear titles and descriptions help the project appear in local searches, especially when the location information is consistent and the content answers the real questions of people looking for the service.
The website works together with your maps profile: the information should match in both.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this kind of website
Does a small project need a website if it is already on Google Maps?
The maps profile shows the essentials, but it does not explain the services, the terms or the way you work. The website completes that information and gives the project credibility.
Can I take bookings through the website?
Yes, through a booking service agreed in advance, or by form and message, whichever makes more sense for the way you operate.
Should I show prices?
It depends on the service. You can show a price list, price ranges or simply a quote request.
How many pages are needed?
Often four or five are enough: home, services, about, contact and, where it makes sense, a gallery.
Does the website work well on a phone?
Yes. It is built and tested for phones, tablets and computers, with particular attention to reading and to actions on a small screen.
