A Professional Website Without the Full-Website Price Tag
Explore Smart Micro Websites | Starting at $1,500
Start Small. Look Established. Grow When You’re Ready.
A lot of small businesses start by relying on Facebook, Instagram, a Google Business Profile, or a DIY website builder.
And while those tools can absolutely help you get started, they don’t always give you the professional foundation your business needs to grow.
A Smart Microsite gives you a dedicated online home for your business — one that is designed around your brand, optimized for mobile, structured for search, and built to guide visitors toward the next step.
The best part?
You’re not building something you’ll have to throw away later.
Your microsite is created on a professional, growth-ready platform so additional pages, services, forms, landing pages, email marketing, automation, and other tools can be added as your business grows.
Who Are Smart Microsites For?
Smart Microsites are ideal for businesses that need a professional online presence without committing to a larger custom website just yet.
They can be a great fit for:
-
New businesses, startups & entrepreneurs
-
Consultants, coaches & independent professionals
-
Contractors, trades & local service businesses
-
Beauty, wellness & personal service providers
-
Wedding vendors & creatives
-
Businesses currently relying on social media, booking platforms or marketplace profiles
If your business is relatively straightforward and your main goal is to help people find you, understand what you do, trust you, and contact or book you, a microsite may be all you need right now.
What Is a Microsite?
A microsite is a streamlined website designed to communicate the most important information about your business without the size or complexity of a traditional multi-page site.
Most Smart Microsites include either:
-
One Strategic Long-Form Page: A single, professionally designed page that walks visitors through your business from introduction to action.
-
Up to Two Pages: For businesses that benefit from separating key information — such as a Home + Services or Home + Contact experience.
The goal isn’t to squeeze an entire large website into one page. It’s to create a focused, intentional customer journey that gives visitors exactly what they need to take the next step.
It's More Than Just a Pretty Page
A Smart Microsite may be small, but it still gets the same attention to foundational details that matter behind the scenes.
Your project includes:
Custom, mobile-responsive website design
Foundational SEO, headings, metadata & local keyword setup
Image optimization, alt text & on-page structure
Contact forms, CRM lead capture & social integrations
Google Analytics, Search Console, sitemap & indexing setup
Domain connection, website testing & launch support
This is what separates a Smart Microsite from simply choosing a template and filling in a few text boxes.
Built for Google From the Beginning
One of the biggest mistakes small businesses make is waiting until later to think about search visibility.
Your website should be structured properly from day one.
As part of the build, I create the foundational structure Google needs to better understand your website, including page hierarchy, headings, metadata, local relevance, image information, Search Console, analytics, and indexing.
No one can guarantee a specific Google ranking, but starting with a properly structured website gives your business a much stronger foundation than trying to repair those pieces later.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mico Websites
How long does a microsite take to build?
Most Smart Microsites can be completed in approximately 2–3 weeks once I have the necessary content, branding, photographs, and feedback.
Do I have to provide all of the website copy?
No. You’ll provide the core information about your business, services, audience, and goals, and I’ll help organize and refine that information into clear, professional website messaging.
Can I add more pages later?
Yes. That’s one of the primary advantages of this approach. Your website is built to expand as your business grows.
Will my website show up on Google?
Your microsite will be built with foundational SEO and connected to Google Search Console so Google can discover and index the site. Search rankings depend on many factors and develop over time, but we’ll make sure the proper foundation is in place from launch.
Can you connect my booking system?
In many cases, yes. Simple external booking links or compatible integrations may be incorporated. More complex scheduling or booking functionality may require a larger project or third-party platform.
Do you provide the photos?
Professional branding photography is available as a separate service. If you already have quality images, we can use those as part of the website build.
Can you redesign my existing DIY website into a microsite?
Potentially. I’ll first review what you currently have and determine whether it makes more sense to improve it or start fresh on a more growth-ready platform.
What if I outgrow the microsite?
That’s exactly what it’s built for. We can expand the existing site rather than starting over.
