What a business card site is and who it is for
A business card site presents you online clearly and concisely: who you are, what you do, how to contact you. Minimal pages, maximum substance - no complex navigation or unnecessary sections. It is the first step online when a full corporate website would be excessive.
Who it suits:
- Small businesses - salon, workshop, local service: showcase your offer and contacts.
- Experts and specialists - doctor, lawyer, consultant: personal site with services and booking.
- New companies - online presence at launch before case studies and a blog are built up.
What a business card site includes
- Structure and design. 1-5 screens for your brand, no templates.
- Key blocks. About you, services or products, advantages, contacts.
- Contact form. Inquiry form, phone, messengers, map if needed.
- SEO foundation. Meta tags, human-readable URL, schema markup.
- Launch. Deploy, domain, instant loading on clean code.
What we need from you
A business card site is built quickly, and what usually slows it down is not development but gathering material. What we need:
- A description of your services - in your own words, no marketing polish. We will tidy it up.
- Photographs - of you, the team, your work or your premises. Real pictures work better than stock, even shot on a phone.
- Contacts and details - how you take enquiries, which messengers you use, whether there is an address for a map.
- A domain - if you already have one. If not, we help choose and register it in your name.
Making five screens bring enquiries
Five screens leave no room for error: if the contact is buried and the offer is vague, the visitor simply leaves. So we keep the essentials in view - what you do, who for, and how to reach you - and use the contact method you actually check. An enquiry sent to an unread inbox is worse than a button to a messenger.
We also test on a phone specifically: that is nearly all the traffic for this format. The call button must dial, the address must open a map, and the form must submit without unnecessary fields.
How a business card site differs from a landing page and corporate website
| Format | Goal | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Business card site | Present the company or expert, provide contacts | 1-5 screens |
| Landing page | Sell a product or collect leads for one offer | 1 long funnel page |
| Corporate website | Cover the full customer journey: services, case studies, blog | Multi-page |
Cost and timeline
A business card site starts from 300 EUR, launch in ~a week. This is the lower bound; the timeline and price depend on content volume and how ready your materials are. We fix an exact estimate after a short brief.

Frequently asked questions
What is a business card website?
A business card website is a compact site on 1-5 screens that briefly tells visitors who you are, what you offer, and how to contact you. It is the digital equivalent of a business card: minimal pages, maximum substance. Suitable for small businesses, experts, and new companies that need an online presence without complex structure.
How much does a business card website cost?
A business card website starts from 300 EUR. This is the lower bound; the final price depends on content volume, design complexity, and required integrations (form, map, chat). We fix an exact estimate after a short brief.
How long does it take to build a business card site?
Usually about a week. In that time we agree on structure and design direction, build the site on clean code, populate it with content, and launch. The exact timeline depends on how ready your materials are - texts, photos, logo.
How does a business card site differ from a landing page?
A landing page is built around one action - selling a product or collecting leads, and the entire page drives toward that goal. A business card site is broader: it presents the company or expert as a whole - who you are, services, contacts - without an aggressive funnel. If you need a sales page for a specific offer, that is a landing page, not a business card site.
Can a business card site be expanded into a corporate website later?
Yes. We build business card sites on clean code, so they can be extended later: add service sections, a blog, case studies, and a Headless CMS - and get a full corporate website. Start with the card site, grow as the business scales.
