Essential website pages
Your website does not need many pages. It needs the right ones.
Every page should answer a real customer question, not merely fill a menu.
Start with home, one page for each genuinely different offer, useful proof and simple contact. Add only what real enquiries justify.

Check the need
Keep only what helps a person understand or act.
