"I do three different things. Where do they all go?"
That question is usually the moment someone outgrows a five-section site. If you're still deciding between packages, What You Actually Get in a $599 Website covers that choice. This post is for the people who already know they need more room, and want to see exactly what the extra $601 buys.
A recent Squarespace build for Raleigh Cleaning Pros: clean navigation, one clear "Request a Quote" button, and a hero photo up top.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
The full build is up to seven pages, designed in Squarespace, with a blog set up and an optional location map. Design time is five to seven days.
Seven pages is not a number to fill. It's a ceiling. Here's how a typical full build might be laid out for a service business:
Home: who you are, what you do, and the one thing you want visitors to click
About: the real you, with real photos
Services overview: a short menu that points to each service page
Service page one [e.g. bookkeeping]
Service page two [e.g. payroll]
Blog
Contact, with FAQs and the location map if you want one
WHY EACH SERVICE GETS ITS OWN PAGE
This is the real reason the full build exists.
When one page lists everything you do, it's trying to show up in Google for all of it at once, and it usually shows up for none of it. A page that's only about one service can use that service's words in its title, its heading and its first paragraph. It can answer the questions people ask about that one thing. That's what search engines reward.
It helps people too. Someone looking for one specific service lands on a page about exactly that, instead of scrolling past four other offers to find it.
Rough rule: if you'd describe your business with "and," each "and" probably deserves a page.
WHAT THE BLOG SETUP INCLUDES
The blog comes built in, styled to match the rest of your site, so it doesn't look like it was added afterward.
Whether you'll actually use it is a fair question, and a bigger one than this post. What matters here is that the full build is where the blog lives. Adding one to a mini site later means redesigning around it.
WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
No asterisks, so here's the edge of the package. More than seven pages, an online store, a booking system, or a members area moves you into a custom quote, which I confirm after a short call. A refresh or rebuild of an existing site is quoted separately too.
Photos aren't included either. That's where the Signature Bundle comes in: the full build plus a branding session for $1,450, a $200 savings. We shoot first and build second, so every one of those seven pages gets real images of you, your work and your space instead of stock.
AFTER LAUNCH
More pages means more to keep current. If you'd rather not think about it, monthly site care is $30 and covers new blog posts, updated events and product descriptions, and clearing out anything past its date. If you'd rather handle it yourself, I'll walk you through it before we're done. [CONFIRM: what the handoff walkthrough covers.]
THE SHORT VERSION
The full build is for businesses that do more than one thing and want each one found. Seven pages, a blog that's ready to go, five to seven days, $1,200.
