A site you can keep adding to
The pages you need now, and a CMS that lets you add the ones you need next without calling anybody.
A multi-page site is what you need when a visitor has to choose. Several services, several audiences, or a story that does not fit on one screen.
A NewWebsite.builders multi-page site starts at 1,750 EUR for 5 to 10 pages, live in 3 business days. The headless CMS is included, so you add and edit pages yourself from a browser. The source code, the repository, the hosting keys and the CMS login are all in your name on launch day, and there is no monthly fee from us.
What you get from 1,750 EUR
- 5 to 10 pages, named and ordered on the call before anything is built.
- A headless CMS, included rather than an add-on, with your pages modelled as fields you can actually understand.
- The copy for every page, drafted from the call or fitted from your own.
- Internal linking that is designed rather than accidental, which is most of what makes a small site rank.
- SEO and GEO in the markup on every page: titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and clean headings.
- Hosting on an edge network with SSL, in your name.
- The source code and 14 days of fixes after launch.
Above 10 pages the price moves, and it moves on the call rather than afterwards. The number you are given is the number you pay.
Which pages you actually need
Most small businesses need fewer pages than they think and different ones than they expect. The pattern that works looks like this:
- A home page that says what you do and who it is for, in the first screen.
- One page per service, because that is what people search for. One page listing four services ranks for none of them.
- A proof page: work, cases, results, or whatever your version of evidence is.
- An about page, which is read more than anyone expects, usually just before someone contacts you.
- A contact page with one obvious way to get in touch.
That is 8 pages for a business with four services, and it is the shape most of this pricing is built around.
The CMS, and what you can do with it
Your pages are modelled as fields rather than as one large box of formatted text. A restaurant gets opening hours, a menu and a takeaway note as separate things. An agency gets cases with a client, a summary and an image. That is the difference between a CMS you can use and one you are afraid of.
With it you can rewrite any page, swap any picture, publish a new case or a new service, and change your opening hours from a phone. What you cannot do from the CMS is break the design, because the design is not stored in it. More on that on the CMS page.
Adding to it later
New pages that use an existing shape are something you add yourself, in the CMS, for 0 EUR. A new case study, a new service in an existing pattern, a new blog post if you have a blog: all of that is yours.
New page types, meaning a shape that does not exist yet, are a small piece of work and get quoted on their own. Nothing about the handover stops another developer doing that instead of us, which is deliberate.
Against a template site
| This | A template site | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to live | 3 business days | days to weeks |
| Monthly fee to us | 0 EUR | subscription, ongoing |
| Builder runtime sent to visitors | 0 | typically hundreds of KB |
| Source code | yours | usually not portable |
| Design | written for you | chosen from a gallery |
| If you leave | the site keeps running | the site usually goes away |
There is a longer version of that argument in hand coded versus page builders.
