Hero section
The first screen: one claim, one visual, one action. Decides in seconds whether a visitor keeps reading.
A catalogue of what a website can be and do
The bottleneck in scoping a site is not building it, it is knowing what is possible. This is the menu: every element has a plain-language name, what it does for the business, a live example, and an honest effort tag.
The bones of the page. Every site has these; the choice is how much personality and proof each one carries.
The first screen: one claim, one visual, one action. Decides in seconds whether a visitor keeps reading.
How people find things. A rich menu can preview products and content, doubling as a sitemap pitch.
A slim strip for the one thing happening now: a launch, an offer, a date. Cheap urgency.
A row of client or press logos. Borrowed credibility before a single word is read.
A tiled overview of what you offer, each tile scannable in a second. The modern replacement for the bullet list.
Plans side by side with one recommended. Publishing prices filters out bad-fit leads for free.
You against each named alternative, one page each. Captures buyers at the exact moment they are deciding.
Real quotes, faces and screenshots at volume. Social proof works by quantity as much as quality.
Three or four hard numbers: clients served, hours saved, revenue generated. Numbers are quotable; adjectives are not.
Who is behind this and why they care. For service businesses, the person is the product.
A dense, organised footer catches everyone who scrolled to the end still undecided, and feeds search engines.
One page: who you are, how to reach you, nothing else. Absence as specification; the cheapest credible web presence.
A second brand or sub-offer served from the same site and infrastructure. Half the maintenance of two sites.
Things a visitor does, not reads. Interaction is what turns a brochure into a tool that captures leads while you sleep.
Visitors pick a slot themselves; no email ping-pong. The single highest-leverage add for any appointment business.
Visitor enters their situation, gets an instant estimate. Answers the only question they came with, and captures the lead.
Build-your-own with live preview and price. Turns browsing into commitment; the configured result is a hot lead.
Five questions, then 'this one is for you'. Guides overwhelmed buyers and segments your list at the same time.
A chat bubble that answers questions and collects contact details around the clock.
Instant search across products and content. On content-heavy sites, searchers convert several times better than browsers.
A click-through tour of the product, no signup needed. Lets buyers try before they talk to you.
One question per screen, with logic that skips what does not apply. Doubles completion on long forms.
Where to find you, or where you deliver and operate. Table stakes for anything local.
A login where clients see their project, files and invoices. Makes a solo operator feel like a firm.
Not ready to sell yet? Sell the queue. Validates demand and builds a launch list before anything exists.
A calendar of workshops or rides with registration built in. The site becomes the box office.
Formats that earn trust and search traffic over time. Content is the asset that compounds.
One client's before-and-after with real numbers. The most persuasive page a service business can own.
Every question you answer on the phone, answered once in public, and marked up so Google and AI can quote it.
A home for your thinking, in your voice. Compounds into search traffic and 'I read your piece' conversations.
Short recorded answers to the questions every prospect asks. Each video replaces a category of support calls.
Self-serve answers organised by task. Deflects support load and signals a mature operation.
A public record of improvements. Proof of momentum that gives customers a reason to return.
One page per term, model, suburb or use case, generated from data. How niche sites win hundreds of long-tail searches.
An email list you own, fed by a genuinely useful free thing. The only audience no algorithm can take away.
Diagrams, sliders and simulations inside articles. Readers remember what they played with.
A single page saying what you are focused on right now. Human, low-effort, oddly magnetic.
Episodes, player and show notes on your own domain, so the audience lands on property you control.
Ways money moves through a site, from a zero-build payment link to a full store. Start with the smallest one that works.
A URL that takes money. No cart, no build; add it to a site, an email or a chat today.
A buy button on an existing page. The lightest way to sell one thing well.
Catalogue, cart, shipping, taxes. Only worth it past a handful of products; below that, links and buttons win.
Recurring revenue with gated content or ongoing service. Predictability is what makes a business sellable.
Ebooks, templates, courses: build once, sell forever, deliver automatically.
Take payment at the moment of booking, including multi-session packages drawn down over time. Kills no-shows.
Send a quote that becomes an invoice that takes cards. Shrinks the days between 'yes' and money.
Let supporters pay anything. Fits creators, causes and free-first offers.
Video and files served only to paying customers, with the back door closed. Protects the thing being sold.
Members invite others with a code that tracks attribution. Word of mouth, but measurable.
AI on the site, and the site made legible to AI. This is the newest layer and where small businesses are least served.
A chatbot that actually knows your prices, policies and story, and answers like you would at 2am.
The chat does not just answer; it asks, scores the lead and writes it into your CRM or sheet.
Invisible markup that tells Google and AI assistants exactly who you are, what you sell and what it costs. How you get cited, not just ranked.
A plain-text front door for AI agents. As AI answers more buying questions, this is the new SEO.
The page adapts to who is looking: industry, company size, returning visitor. One site, many pitches.
Search that replies with an answer, citing your own pages, instead of ten blue links.
Share images generated per page: title, data, branding. Every shared link becomes a designed ad.
See what visitors actually do: where they stall, what they ignore, what they rage-click. Redesign from evidence.
Run two versions, keep the winner. Ends the 'I think vs you think' debate with data.
Expose bookings, stock or quotes as an API an AI agent can call, so 'Claude, book me a session' just works. Early, and a moat.
Personality, motion and play. High effort, high memorability; the reason someone screenshots your site and sends it to a friend.
Pages morph into each other instead of flashing white. The whole site feels like one smooth app.
The site as a character with a voice, not a template with a logo. Unforgettable in a sea of sameness.
The story unfolds as you scroll: pinned scenes, numbers counting up, product rotating. Editorial theatre.
Real-time 3D in the browser: products you can spin, worlds you can drive through. Instant 'how did they do that'.
Backgrounds and art computed live, different on every visit. The site as an object that is alive.
Buttons that respond, cards that settle, numbers that roll. Felt more than seen; reads as craft and care.
Music, ambient audio, tactile clicks. Rare enough online that it defines the memory of the visit.
Confetti on completion, a hidden game, a playful 404. Small surprises people screenshot and share.
The living galleries of the web's best work. Browse these with a client to calibrate taste before scoping.
