Why a 1-Page Website is Perfect for New Entrepreneurs
So, you’ve finally made the leap and started your own business—congratulations! 🎉 This is such an exciting time, but let’s be real—there’s a lot more to running a business than just doing the work you love. Suddenly, you’re wearing all the hats: marketer, accountant, social media manager, and everything in between. It’s overwhelming, and one of the biggest questions new business owners have is: “Do I really need a website for my small business?”
My answer? Yes, you absolutely need a website—but it doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re in your first year of business, a 1-page website is all you need to start strong and build your online presence.
My Honest Advice to New Service-Based Business Owners
I'm going to say something that will probably surprise you... if you’re a new service-based business owner, you may not need a multi-page website right away. You need something simple, professional, and effective—something that helps potential clients find you, understand what you offer, and book your services easily.
A sleek one-page design is the perfect solution. It’s a quick website design that gives you an online home without the stress of building out an entire multi-page site. Instead of relying solely on social media (which, let’s be honest, can be exhausting and unreliable), a website provides credibility for your business. Plus, you actually own it—unlike your social media accounts, which can disappear or change overnight.
Now, that doesn't mean there aren't advantages to having a multi-page website and for some businesses, even new ones, I would recommend it right out the gate. But when you are just starting out, something is better than nothing, and a minimalist website can put you on the map quickly.
Who Can Benefit from a 1-Page Website?
A simple website design is ideal for service-based entrepreneurs, especially those just getting started. If you’re in any of the following industries, a single page website could be all you need to establish an online presence:
Realtors – Showcase your expertise, list properties, and make it easy for clients to contact you.
Hair Stylists & Salon Owners – Display your services, pricing, and online booking links, along with a gallery of your recent work.
Therapists & Coaches – Introduce yourself, explain your services, and provide a way for potential clients to reach out.
Virtual Assistants & Freelancers – Highlight your skills, services, and testimonials to attract new clients.
Personal Trainers & Wellness Coaches – Share your expertise and make it easy for clients to book sessions.
If you’re a busy entrepreneur, especially a mom balancing business and life, a quick website design means you don’t have to spend weeks stressing about your website and your lack of content. My Design in a Day service is created exactly for this—to give you a beautiful, professional website in just one day so you can focus on growing your business and I can focus on the logistics.
What Should a Single-Page Website Include?
A one-page site isn’t just a placeholder—it’s a powerful marketing tool. Here’s what your site should include to make the most impact:
✅ Introduction to Your Business – Who do you serve, and what do you offer?
✅ About You – Share your story and why you started your business.
✅ Your Services & Pricing – Make it clear what you offer and how clients can work with you.
✅ How to Book/Your Process – Guide potential clients through the next steps.
✅ Contact Information – Make it easy for people to reach out to you.
This streamlined setup keeps things simple and effective. And as your business grows, you can always expand your site later. That’s where my 2-Week Website Design service or additional Design Days come in when you’re ready to level up!
Don’t Sleep on Blogging & SEO 🚀
Another major perk of having a website? SEO and blogging. Squarespace websites come with a built-in blog, and I always set this up for my clients—because blogging is one of the best ways to market your business long-term.
Social media posts disappear within hours, but a well-written blog post can drive traffic to your site for years. Learning even the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) will help you rank on Google, bringing potential clients to your site without constantly hustling on Instagram or Facebook.
