What Should a Good Business Website Include?

March 28, 20267 min read

You're ordering a website or building one yourself — and suddenly you're facing the question: what should actually be on it? What text? What pages? What needs to be on the homepage? This guide is a practical checklist. No fluff — just the essentials.

1. Clear Headline: Who You Are and What You Do

A customer lands on your page and needs to understand what you do within 3 seconds. Not "innovative solutions for demanding clients" — but "Custom furniture carpenter in Kraków. Kitchens, wardrobes, closets made to measure." Simple, specific, no corporate jargon.

2. Contact Details — Everywhere

Phone number and email should be in the header, footer, and on a separate "Contact" page. The customer shouldn't have to search for them. If you have a physical location — add a map and opening hours. If you prefer contact via a form — keep it simple: name, phone, message. Nothing more.

3. Service Descriptions with Specific Examples

Don't write "we provide a wide range of services". List them one by one. If you're a mechanic: tire replacement, computer diagnostics, body and paint repair. Each service should have a short description — what you do, what the process looks like, roughly how long it takes.

4. Photos of Your Work (Not Stock Photos!)

Nothing builds trust like real photos of your work. A kitchen you installed. A hair salon after renovation. A happy patient in the office (with permission!). Stock photos of smiling people in suits won't convince anyone — and your customers will instantly recognize they're not your work.

5. Customer Reviews

Reviews are your best salesperson. Ask satisfied customers for a few sentences and put them on your site — ideally with their first name and city. You can also embed Google reviews, which adds extra credibility. Customers trust other customers more than any marketing copy.

6. "Call" / "Message" Button (Call to Action)

Every page should have a clear button telling the customer what to do next: "Call now", "Send an inquiry", "Book an appointment". Without it, the customer reads, nods — and leaves. The button is your invitation to make contact.

  • Clear headline (who, what, where)
  • Phone number and email (visible on every page)
  • List of services with descriptions
  • Real photos of your work
  • Customer reviews
  • Contact button on every page
  • Mobile version (responsive design)
