Business owner deciding what website to use
Do you need a website?
In 2025, a website isn’t just a digital business card; it’s your business’s digital front door. It helps customers find you on Google, trust your brand, and take action—whether that’s booking a service, buying a product, or contacting you directly.
A Savvy Site stands out by offering a one-page website solution that combines the simplicity of a landing page with the searchability of a traditional multi-page site. It’s perfect for small businesses looking to rank on Google without the hassle of managing a complex site.
What do you need to build a Savvy Site?
Before you dive in, you’ll need a few essentials.
Here’s somethings to have ready when building your website:
Know your business
Industry : What sector does your business operate in? Whether you’re a baker, consultant, or retailer, this will shape your website content.
What you do : Be clear about what products or services you offer.
Business name : If you haven’t already named your business, now’s the time. This will also be your site’s headline and domain name.
Your audience : Who are your customers? Understanding them helps you create content that speaks directly to their needs.
Revenue model : How does your business make money? Showcase whether you sell products or provide services.
Prepare your content
Having these assets ready will save time when building your Savvy Site:
High-quality images : Photos of your products, workspace, or team. If you’re a service provider, consider a professional headshot or images that represent your services. If you don’t have images, find and download images from sites like pexels that best represent your business.
Logo : Don’t have one? Use a platform like Canva to design a quick logo or upload a profile image instead.
Location : This helps with Google rankings and lets customers know where to find you.
Pricing details : List the costs of your products or services, even if just a starting range. If you need help with pricing, read our blog .
Business description : Have a rough idea of what to say about your business. Savvy’s AI writer will help polish it. We also have an article on writing a business description to help you get started.
Contact information : Ensure you have your phone number, email, and social media links handy.
Create a photo album on your phone to keep all your website images in one simple palace to use on your site.
