What Maine small businesses need from a website

Start with purpose

Before colors or fonts, decide what the site should do: get calls, collect emails, show services, or build trust. Maine small businesses often need all of those — but one primary goal keeps the design focused.

Pages that earn their keep

Most local businesses do well with Home, Services, About, and Contact. Add a Work or Blog section when you have stories to tell. Extra pages without a job create clutter.

"A simple site that answers common questions beats a fancy one that confuses people."

• Lead with what you offer and who you help
• Make phone and email impossible to miss
• Use real photos when you can
• Check the site on a phone before you approve it
