What is not included at this price?

No extra pages, no custom design from a blank page, no logo design, no copywriting from scratch, no online shop, bookings, logins or payment processing, no blog, and no photography. Those are what the full build exists for.

One-page small business website for USD 500 shown on a laptop and phone — a single scrolling page with a headline, hero photo of the owner at work, four service icons and a contact button, badged “Live in 5 Days”

One-Page Launch

A one-page website for USD 500, live in five working days

For businesses that don’t have a website yet. One page that says what you do, shows you are real, and makes it easy to call, WhatsApp or enquire. No long project, no planning meetings, no open-ended quote.

You answer nine questions. I write and build the page. It goes live. If you want a full website later, the full USD 500 is taken off the price.

This is not a cheaper version of my usual work

It is a different product for a different need. Below, I explain honestly which one suits you — because buying the wrong one wastes your money and my time.

Right for you if

You need a link to send people — this week, not next quarter

✓All you have right now is a Facebook page, an Instagram account or a WhatsApp number — and nothing you own. ✓You sell one main thing, to one main kind of customer, in one area. ✓Someone asks “do you have a website?” and you have to explain instead of just sending a link. ✓You want to turn up on Google under your own name and address, not someone else’s directory. ✓You would rather be online this month than still planning a big website next year.

Three or more ticks? This is the right buy. Start the five days →

Buy something else if

One page would hold you back — and I’d rather say so now

×You already have a site that gets traffic but no enquiries — that’s a free audit, then a fix. ×You have four or more services that each need to rank on their own — that’s a full build. ×You need a shop, bookings, logins or payments. ×You want a custom design drawn from a blank page. ×You want to check five rounds of design. That’s fair — but not at this price.

The eight sections you get

Always these, in this order. This layout works for local service businesses, and it is fixed on purpose — that is why the price is low.

Headline and offer

What you do, who for, where — understandable in four seconds.

You supply · your service, your area, and the one job you most want more of

What you actually do

Your service in simple words, with the questions people always ask answered first.

You supply · a short list of what is included and what is not

Who it’s for

So the wrong enquiries are filtered out before they reach your phone.

You supply · your best kind of customer, and the kind you’d rather decline

Proof

Reviews, photos of real work, years in business, licences — placed where people decide, not at the bottom.

You supply · photos of finished work and a link to your reviews

Price or price guide

A starting price, a price range, or how you give quotes. Something, not nothing.

You supply · a starting price, or how you work one out

Questions people ask

Five or six, marked up with FAQ schema so Google can show them.

You supply · the questions you answer on the phone every week

Service area and hours

Areas you cover, opening hours, and your Google Business Profile linked properly.

You supply · your towns, your hours, and your Google profile link

One obvious next step

Enquiry form plus tap-to-call and WhatsApp buttons, repeated where people are ready to contact you.

You supply · the email address and number enquiries should reach

Built for phones firstBecause that’s where four in five of your visitors will be.

Fast by defaultCompressed images, no bloat, loads on a weak mobile connection.

FindablePage title, description, local business setup for Google, and sent to Google Search Console.

What USD 500 does not buy

Listed clearly so there are no surprises later — and next to each one, where you can get it. You can still have these. They are just not in this price.

×Extra pages of any kind

Instead · A full build, five to ten pages

×A custom design from a blank page

Instead · A full build, designed around your brand

×Copywriting from scratch

Instead · A full build — the words are written for you

×More than one revision round

Instead · A Focused fix includes two rounds

×Online shop, bookings, logins or payments

Instead · A larger build, scoped before anyone quotes

×A blog or any ongoing content

Instead · Added later, once the page earns enquiries

×Logo or brand identity design

Instead · Not something I do — bring the logo you have

×Photography or video production

Instead · Your own photos work. A local photographer is better

If two or more of these are things you genuinely need now, the One-Page Launch is the wrong purchase — start on the services page instead.

How the five days work

No planning call, no first meeting. Two forms, one payment, one round of changes. The nine-question form does the job better than a two-hour call.

You send the enquiry

The short form on this page — eight fields, about two minutes. I reply within one working day.

You pay and answer the intake

Nine questions, about fifteen minutes. Full payment books your five-day slot.

I write and build

Days one to four. You hear nothing from me, which is the point.

One revision, then live

Send one list of all your changes. Then your domain is connected, security (SSL) is on, the site is sent to Google, and the care plan starts.

To build it

USD 500

One payment, in full, before the slot is reserved.

Covers the writing, the build, the mobile work, the speed work, the SEO setup and one revision round.

To keep it live

USD 49 / month

Starts the day it goes live. Cancel any time, and you keep the files.

✓Domain registration and renewal ✓Hosting and SSL certificate ✓Daily backups, kept 30 days ✓Updates and uptime monitoring ✓Up to two small edits a month ✓Email and WhatsApp support from me

Why this matters: most abandoned small business sites die from an expired domain or a lapsed certificate, not from bad design. Roughly RM 210 a month for Malaysian clients.

Nothing is wasted

The full USD 500 comes off a bigger site later

For twelve months after launch, the full USD 500 counts towards a full website. You don’t pay twice for starting small.

The page is kept too — it becomes the homepage of the bigger site, so the headline, proof and layout you already paid for stay. Only the new pages you need are added.

Worked example

One-Page LaunchUSD 500 Full site, 8 pages, month 9USD 2,400 Credit applied− USD 500 You payUSD 1,900

The same total as ordering the full site on day one — but you had a working website bringing enquiries for the nine months in between.

Where it sits against everything else

If you can’t decide between two options, choose the cheaper one. You can always upgrade, and the credit means waiting costs you nothing.

	One-Page LaunchUSD 500	Focused fixUSD 800 – 1,500	Full small business siteUSD 1,500 – 4,000
Pages	One	One to three, rebuilt	Five to ten
Timeline	5 working days	About two weeks	Three to six weeks
The words	Shaped from your nine answers	Your notes, rewritten	Written for you
Design	Fixed layout, your colours and logo	Custom, within your brand	Custom throughout
Revisions	One round	Two rounds	Named in the quote
Best when	You have no website at all	You have traffic but no enquiries	Several services, each needing to rank

Full detail on the two larger bands is in website redesign cost, including what pushes a quote up.

Paying a stranger USD 500 up front

It is fair to be unsure. Here is who has already done it, and what the same approach looks like on a bigger project.

Hotel Puri Melaka website before and after the conversion redesign — a brochure site rebuilt so rooms can actually be booked

Case study

Hotel Puri — a brochure turned into a booking tool

Rooms were easy to see but hard to book. Some booking buttons didn’t work, and important information was hard to find. Same photos, same rooms — a clearer path to booking.

When a site feels easy, people act.

Questions people ask before buying

Is a one-page website enough for a small business?

For most local businesses with one main service, yes — at the start. If you sell one main thing to one type of customer in one area, a single clear page with proof and easy contact works better than a five-page site with an unclear message. You need more when you have several different services that each need their own page and Google ranking.

What does the USD 500 include?

One page with the eight sections above, a phone-friendly layout, speed work, basic SEO, local business setup for Google, Google Business Profile link and Search Console setup. The text is written from your nine answers. One round of changes.

How long does it take?

Five working days from when I receive your completed nine-question form — the longer form I send after your enquiry, not the short one on this page. Send your list of changes within five days of the draft. Most sites are live within two weeks from start to finish.

Do I need hosting and a domain as well?

Yes, both are in the USD 49 a month care plan, along with security (SSL), backups, updates, checking and small edits. The USD 500 builds the page; the care plan keeps it running. If you already have a domain, it stays in your name and we just connect it.

What happens if I want a full website later?

The full USD 500 counts towards a bigger website for twelve months after launch, and the page becomes the homepage of the bigger site. Nothing you paid for is wasted.

Why is this so much cheaper than your other work?

Because the decisions are already made. A tested layout instead of a custom design, a written form instead of many meetings, one round of changes instead of many, and a five-day slot instead of a long schedule. The work is not worse — there is just much less to discuss.

Do I pay the whole USD 500 up front?

Yes, in full, before your slot is booked. This keeps the price fair for everyone, and it is why five days is possible.

Read these first if you’re not sure

One page. Five days. USD 500.

And if you need something different, I’ll tell you before you pay, not after.
