Can You Get Away With a One-Page Website? Absolutely—Here’s Why


One-Page Website

Let’s talk about the elephant in the digital room: websites can be expensive. As a small business owner, maybe you’ve dreamed of a sprawling, multi-page site with bells, whistles, and animations that would make Pixar proud. But then reality (and your budget) smacked you in the face.

So, you’re left wondering: Can I really get away with a one-page website?

Short answer? Yes. In fact, not only can a one-pager get the job done—it can be a strategic, powerful step forward for your business. Let’s talk about why a one-page website can be the perfect solution for right now, and how it can set you up for growth when you’re ready to expand.


What Can You Do with Just a One-Page Website? A Lot, Actually

Contrary to popular belief, one-page websites aren’t “less than” their multi-page counterparts. When designed with intention, they can pack a serious punch. Here’s what we can cover on a single page:


1. Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP)

Right at the top, we’ll clearly communicate who you are, what you do, and why it matters. Think of this as your virtual elevator pitch—except this one works 24/7.


2. Showcase Your Work

Whether you’re a photographer, florist, or artisan, we’ll use a stunning portfolio section to let your work shine. A few well-curated images can be just as impactful as an entire gallery.


3. Offer Details

We’ll outline your services or products in a way that’s easy to digest. This isn’t about cramming everything in—it’s about giving potential clients the information they need to say, “Yes, this is for me.”


4. Call-to-Action (CTA)

Whether you want people to book a call, fill out a contact form, or shop your latest collection, we’ll make the next step crystal clear.


5. Testimonials or Social Proof

If you’ve got happy clients (and I know you do!), we’ll sprinkle in a few testimonials to build trust and credibility.


6. Contact Info

Last but not least, we’ll make it ridiculously easy for people to reach you—because the whole point of a website is to connect with your audience.


A One-Page Website as Phase One of Growth

Think of your one-page website as the foundation of your online presence. It’s not the final destination; it’s the first step.

Here’s the beauty of this approach:

  1. You Start Strong: Even a single page can look polished, professional, and totally on-brand.
  2. You Build as You Go: When you’re ready (and when your budget allows), we can add more pages, features, and functionality to create the website of your dreams.

It’s like renovating a house: you start with the essentials (kitchen, bathroom, a roof over your head), and over time, you add the extras (a dreamy backyard deck, heated floors, or a mudroom complete with a dog bath—hey, one can dream).


The Case for a Converting One-Page Website

Here’s the thing: your website isn’t just a pretty placeholder. It’s a tool for converting visitors into clients. And yes, a one-page site can absolutely do that.

Why a One-Page Website Converts Like a Pro:

  1. Focused Messaging: With one page, there’s no room for fluff. We’ll keep your messaging clear and focused, guiding visitors to take action.
  2. Streamlined Experience: Your audience doesn’t have to click around to find what they need—it’s all there, laid out in a way that makes sense.
  3. Mobile-Friendly by Design: One-pagers are naturally optimized for mobile users (and let’s be honest, that’s most of us).

When done right, a one-page website can do everything a multi-page site can—just in a smaller, more streamlined package.


Why $1,7500 Is an Investment, Not an Expense

Yes, you can find cheaper options for building a website. But here’s the difference:

  • A DIY site might look okay, but it probably won’t convert.
  • A cookie-cutter template won’t feel uniquely you.

For $1,750, you’re not just getting a one-page website. You’re getting:

  • A custom design that reflects your brand and connects with your audience.
  • A strategic layout that’s built to convert.
  • The expertise of someone (me!) who knows how to make your business shine online.

So let’s girl math this. Let’s say you’re a service provider and you charge $1,500 for your base package. If you profit $1,000 from each project, and you put $500 of that profit towards paying for your website, you’d only need to book 4 projects to completely pay off your website. Did I mention my clients on average double their inquiry rate post-web launch? Oh, and they usually raise their prices by $1,000+ because their site looks so professional. Girl math.


What More Could You Do with a Website That Works for You?

Think about it: if your website could handle the heavy lifting—attracting dream clients, answering questions, and converting visitors into bookings or sales—what more could you focus on during your day?

  • Spending more time on your craft?
  • Scaling your business with intention?
  • Taking a well-deserved nap (because let’s be honest, you’re doing a lot)?

Your one-page website can be the tool that helps you reclaim your time while growing your business.
