Website Planning Guide
How many pages should a business website have?
Plan a website structure that gives customers enough information without creating unnecessary or repetitive pages.
The Short Answer
How many pages should a business website have?
Many focused small businesses can begin with four pages: Home, About, Services and Contact. Businesses with several valuable services, locations or customer audiences often benefit from ten or more focused pages.
Practical Guidance 01
Four pages provide a strong focused start
A starter website can clearly introduce the business, explain its main services, build trust and provide an easy way to make contact.
- Home: overview and strongest next steps
- About: business story and trust
- Services: what the business provides
- Contact: clear enquiry routes
Practical Guidance 02
Add pages when customers need distinct answers
Separate pages are useful when services, locations or audiences have genuinely different information and search intent.
- Give valuable services enough explanation
- Create useful pages for important locations
- Answer substantial customer questions
- Avoid thin pages that repeat the same wording
Practical Guidance 03
Ecommerce websites naturally need more pages
Online shops require product, category, basket, checkout, account and policy content in addition to standard business information.
- Plan product categories logically
- Provide useful product information
- Include delivery and returns guidance
- Make navigation easy on mobile
