How to Create a Small Business Website

To succeed online, you need a website that attracts new buyers, delivers a premium user experience, and acts as a central hub for your marketing strategy.

To build a successful website for your small business, you need:

Clarity On What You Are Selling

You started a business because you’re great at what you do or you have an awesome idea. The first step to establishing a website that works is getting crystal clear on exactly what your business is selling, what makes it unique, how it is different from your competition, what results it produces, and how someone will benefit from those results. You need to be able to communicate why someone else needs what you’re selling.

Clarity On Who Your Business Is Selling To

While design is a critical part of launching a successful small business website, the website copy—the words on the website’s page—is even more important. The website content needs to be written to your target market. When you know who your ideal client or customer is, you can tailor everything from the headline to the call to action to that person so they feel like your website and offers were created just for them.

An Irresistible List-Building Offer

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “The money is in the list!” It gets repeated by business coaches and small business owners constantly because it’s true! To ensure long-term success for your small business, you need to build a email list full of people who want to hear from you. That effort needs to start the day you launch. For every $1 you spend on email marketing, you can expect an average return of $42. So what are you waiting for?

Expert Positioning and Audience Education

While every type of business website needs pages like the homepage, about page, services page, testimonials page, and contact page, it also needs a place to educate. Your blog is the perfect place to share opinions, perspectives, tips, and tricks, tell stories, demonstrate expertise, and connect with your audience on a deeper level. Small businesses that publish new content regularly enjoy more traffic and more conversions.

A Clear Path to Conversion

Whether you’re a startup, ecommerce website, or blog, every small business website needs to turn visitors into subscribers, leads, clients, and customers, and that means guiding them through the buyer journey step-by-step. Your website needs to help people get to know you, decide they like you, and figure out that they trust you so they feel comfortable taking action—buying, signing up, subscribing, registering, joining, enrolling, contacting, etc.

Testimonials and Case Studies

The fastest way to build trust with new clients and customers is to leverage social proof and show them that other people have hired or bought from your small business in the past and had a great experience. Sharing testimonials and case studies not only help mitigate risk and put prospective clients at ease, but they also show them what’s possible if they hire you and inspire them to take action.

Beautiful, Professional Design

Professional, beautiful design ensures your small business is taken seriously. It also helps build respect and trust, positions your business as higher quality, and helps people find what they need quickly and easily. You need your website to be your best salesperson, which means it need to reflect your brand’s personality and be the next best thing to speaking with you in person.

Consistent Calls-to-Action

Your website exists to get more clients and customers, which means it needs to have an eye-catching, clean, powerful call to action that persuades visitors to take the next step. Where most small business go wrong, however, is not using a consistent design for their calls to action across their website. Luckily, we make that easy with pre-designed call to action blocks you can use anywhere on your site.

A Way to Showcase Your Products and Services

It’s important that your website’s WordPress business theme includes a seamless WooCommerce integration, enabling the creation of dedicated product pages or sections to showcase the range of products or services offered. These pages should provide comprehensive information, pricing, high-quality visuals, and compelling descriptions to engage potential customers, and of course, make it easy for someone to make a purchase.

What is the best way to create a small business website?

The combination of WordPress, Mai Theme, and Mai Engine provides you with unmatched power and flexibility—the optimal foundation for creating your small business website. We choose WordPress to build on because we love how it puts business owners in control of all of their content, from the words on the page, to images, video, and audio content. With Mai Theme and WordPress, it’s so user-friendly that you can make changes on the fly without needing to engage an expensive web designer or worry about custom code.

What is the best page builder or website builder for a business?

Businesses don’t need to buy another thing, like a third-party website builder, to create an amazing website they’re proud of and excited to market. With the WordPress block editor, you get all the functionality and ease of a website builder, without the limitations of typical drag and drop page builders. Customize to your heart’s content—with the easy to use visual composer and theme customizer—and create something that is truly unique to your brand. (However, if you really want to use a page builder plugin like Beaver Builder or Elementor, you still can with Mai Theme.)

Can I use free WordPress themes for my business?

While it is possible to use free WordPress themes for your business, it is generally a better idea to consider premium WordPress themes. Premium themes, like Mai Theme, offer more advanced features, customization options, and dedicated support, which can greatly benefit your business website and provide a more professional appearance. Investing in a premium theme can enhance your branding, user experience, and overall online presence.

Do you have examples of business websites I can look at?

Yes! We love to show off what other business owners, corporate businesses, entrepreneurs, and beginner bloggers have created using Mai Theme. The beauty of Mai Theme is that it is flexible enough to be applied to any niche, while still offering extensive features and customization options that put you in control.
