What should a startup website look like?

I make different websites—new ones, improvements on old ones, and for people just starting out. When you’re starting, you don’t need a large website. Thinking about all the things your site could have might be too much. What’s important is a professional-looking site with the right colors, fonts, and spacing that quickly shows what you offer and how you can help.

You can do this with just three to five pages. You need a Home page to explain what your site is about, a section for your services or products, scheduling software incorporated, and your contact info. You can use a template and do it yourself or get someone to help. Doing it yourself might save money, but usually, I can tell if someone did it that way. I notice differences in colors, fonts, and spaces on each page. It’s like a writer noticing that I’m better at designing than writing—haha!

Start with a basic website using WordPress and add more as your business grows. Thinking about a really fancy website with lots of cool stuff like selling things online or having a membership can make things too overwhelming to even start. Begin small and add more later on. This way, you get the best website designs for small businesses without the stress.
