What a small business website actually needs to do
A local business website has three jobs. It needs to help Google understand exactly what you do and which parts of Singapore you serve, so your Google Business Profile and your pages reinforce each other. It needs to convince a stranger, in a few seconds on a phone, that you are real, good and nearby. And it needs to make getting in touch take one tap. Design matters, but only in service of those three jobs.
What every site we build includes
- Mobile-first and fastBuilt for a phone on a 4G connection first, with lightweight pages and images, so people don’t give up before it loads. We check Google’s Core Web Vitals before launch.
- One-tap contactWhatsApp, call and booking buttons that stay within thumb reach on mobile, plus a short enquiry form that lands in your inbox.
- Pages for each service and areaA clear page for each main service, and location content written for the estates and districts you genuinely serve, not a list of town names pasted into a footer.
- Proof, front and centreYour real photos, past work and reviews, presented honestly. Nothing invented, because Singapore customers check.
- Technical SEO built inClean page titles and descriptions, structured data (schema) that tells Google your business details, a sitemap, and fast hosting.
- PDPA-ready formsConsent wording on every form, collecting only what you need, as Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act expects. If you send marketing messages, we’ll remind you about the Do Not Call registry.
Signs your current site is costing you enquiries
- On your phone, you have to pinch and zoom, or the contact button isn’t visible without scrolling.
- The homepage doesn’t say what you do and where in the first screen.
- It takes more than a few seconds to load on mobile data.
- Your opening hours, prices or address differ from your Google profile.
- Enquiry form messages go to an inbox nobody checks, or the form quietly fails.
- You can’t update anything without paying someone, so the site is out of date.
