Small business website checklist.

A useful small business website should explain the offer, build trust, answer common questions, and make the next step easy on desktop and mobile.

Checklist

Start with the sections customers actually need.

The best first version of a website is not always the largest one. It should quickly show what the business does, why people can trust it, and how to inquire, book, or buy.
