Brochure
website
A brochure website is the compact version of your business online: what you do, which area you serve, roughly what it costs and how to reach you, all on one well-built page. It's the right first step for a new company or a small trade that mostly needs to look legitimate when someone taps "Website" on your Google profile.

Who a brochure website is right for
A brochure website suits a business with a clear, short list of services sold to people nearby: a mobile mechanic, a dog groomer, a tailor, a tutor, a bookkeeper with a home office, a handyman covering a few suburbs. These businesses rarely need twenty pages. They need to look real and reachable within five seconds of someone tapping through from Google Maps or Nextdoor.
It's also a smart start for a brand-new company. While you're still discovering which service sells best, a small site is cheaper to launch and quicker to adjust. When one offer clearly brings the money, it gets its own page or the site grows into a business website, and nothing from the first build is wasted.
Brochure site or landing page?
Both are often a single page, so people mix them up. A landing page is built for one ad campaign: one offer, one action, no menu, every word aimed at the click that brought the visitor. A brochure site is your general front door: it introduces the whole business and serves everyone, whether they came from your truck lettering, a neighbor's referral or a search for your name.
If you're about to run ads for one service, you may want both. The brochure site serves everyone; a dedicated landing page serves the campaign. I explain the trade-off in more detail in landing page or full website.
Built to work with your Google Business Profile
For many local businesses, the first contact isn't the website at all. People see your rating, photos and hours on Google Maps, then tap "Website" to double-check. Your page has to confirm what they just saw: the same business name, the same phone number, the same service area. I mirror those details, add LocalBusiness schema and connect Search Console so Google understands the page. The listing itself is part of local SEO, which I can handle separately.
It's also worth listing the site on Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Yelp and the BBB if you're a member, so every directory points to the same place.
Words that don't sound like a brochure
The trap is a page stuffed with "quality, reliability, professionalism", words every competitor already uses. I replace them with specifics: you call back within two hours, you bring drop cloths and clean up, a typical job takes one afternoon, you've been doing this since 2014. Specifics are believable; adjectives aren't.
If many of your customers are more comfortable in Polish, Russian or Ukrainian, a short section in that language can help, and I can write it. Spanish is different: I don't write it, so Spanish copy would come from you or a translator, and I'll build the page to hold it.
Small things that make a site look abandoned
A footer that still says 2019. A "News" section with one post. An Instagram feed that stopped loading. A phone number that rings to a full voicemail box. Visitors read all of these as signs you may be out of business. A brochure site should have nothing that needs constant feeding, so I leave out anything you won't realistically keep up.
What it costs, and what it doesn't
A one-page brochure site starts at $1,000. That covers copy, design, hand-written code, tap-to-call, a short form, call and form tracking and a walkthrough when it launches. There's no monthly builder fee; hosting and the domain are agreed individually. Everything is registered in your name. See all options on the web design overview.

questions
What's a brochure website, exactly?
It's a small site, often a single page, that does what a printed brochure used to: introduce the business, list services, show some work and give contact details. The difference is that it's built to convert, with tap-to-call, a short form and tracking, and it's tied to your Google Business Profile.
Can a one-page site show up on Google?
For your business name and for local searches where your Google Business Profile does most of the work, yes. For many separate services it's limited, because one page can only target so many phrases. When one service starts bringing real money, give it its own page or move up to a business website.
Why not just use a Facebook page or Yelp listing?
Keep them, but don't rely on them alone. You don't control those platforms' layout, ranking or rules, and plenty of buyers want to see a real website before they call. A brochure site is the one place online you fully own, and your profiles can all point to it.
How much does a brochure website cost?
A one-page brochure site starts at $1,000, including copy, design, hand-written code, tracking and three rounds of revisions. With full analytics set up for ads it's the Start package, from $1,550. Hosting and domain are agreed individually.
