Small business website design
What’s a Web-Bite?
You’re looking at one.
A complete business presence on one well-designed page, researched around what your customers search for. We build it and look after it. No website software for you to learn.
The idea
A whole business presence, on one page
A Web-Bite isn’t a large or flamboyant website. It’s an effective web presence for a small business — one page that helps the right people do four things.
Not more content. The right content.
Every word, image and customer comment has a job. The page you’re reading is a Web-Bite.
- 01
Find
Clear service, location and search information, so people can find you.
- 02
Understand
Here we are. This is what we do. This is where we do it.
- 03
Trust
Selected genuine evidence: real work, credentials, attributable customer comments.
- 04
Contact
An obvious next step: phone, email, message or enquiry.
What makes it different
Not just a smaller website
A Web-Bite is a carefully researched, focused single page, designed to answer the questions your prospective customers are asking.
- Research identifies a relevant primary search phrase, based on what potential customers are actually looking for.
- The page is organised around that main topic, supported by your services, locations and related information.
- Everything important sits on one clear, easy-to-read page.
- Visitors quickly see what you offer, where you work, why to choose you and how to get in touch.
- It's built to encourage enquiries, not just to display information.
Who it’s for
Small businesses that need a straightforward web presence
Website design for small business, sole traders, independent professionals and local services — for people who want to look professional online without taking on a website project.
It’s especially useful if:
- Your website is outdated, confusing or not doing its job
- Your business has no website of its own
- Your web presence is mostly Facebook or directory listings
- Useful information about you is scattered across several places
Business types a Web-Bite tends to suit:
- Celebrants
- Tradespeople
- Consultants
- Accommodation providers
- Beauty and personal services
- Home services
- Small tourism businesses
- Other independent and local businesses
Already have some business information online? Good — we can work with it.
Useful material often already exists. You give us what you have. We organise it into a clear, complete one-page business presence.
- Google Business Profile
- Directories
- An old website
- Brochures
- Photographs
- Reviews
- Whatever you tell us
Hands-off for you
You run your business. We look after the website.
Considering a DIY website builder? You can have a professional website without learning to build or manage one yourself. Web-Bites handles the research, content planning, building, hosting and basic technical maintenance.
Your included Web-Bites web address uses a web-bites.org subdomain, such as johutchinson.web-bites.org, so you don’t need to buy or manage a domain name.
Your own domain name and business email are optional, separately priced services.
How it works
Research. Build. Manage. Measure.
- 01
Tell us about your business
We agree the scope and price before work begins. Your business details, photographs and existing online information help shape the research.
- 02
We build it
We research what your prospective customers search for, then organise your information into a clear, professional one-page business presence.
- 03
You check it
You check the facts, wording, services, locations, photographs and contact details before anything is published.
- 04
We put it to work
After preview approval, we request NZ$434 before publishing: setup plus the first month. Your first monthly billing period begins at launch.
- 05
We measure what it does
Visitor statistics and monthly reporting are planned; our process is being tested on the live examples before it becomes operational.
Not published and forgotten
We are testing a reporting process on our live examples. Once validated, it will cover:
- Whether people are finding the page
- Visits to the site
- Clicks on phone, email and other contact actions
- Search visibility over time
