Why a one-time website beats monthly website builders.
Wix and Squarespace aren't just a monthly fee — most people still hire a designer to set it up, adding $500–2,000 on top. Three years in, you've spent $1,000–3,000+ and you still don't own anything. With PageDrop, you pay $297 once and own your custom website forever.
| PageDrop | Wix | Squarespace | Web Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Designer/setup fee | Included | $500–2,000 | $500–2,000 | $3k–10k |
| Monthly fee | $0 | $17–32/mo | $16–49/mo | $0–50/mo |
| Total cost, year 1 | $297 | $700–2,400 | $700–2,600 | $3k–10k |
| Total cost, 3 years | $297 | $1,100–3,200 | $1,100–3,800 | $3k–10k+ |
| PageSpeed score | 95+ | 50–70 | 60–75 | Varies |

Zero risk. We build your site first — you only pay if you're happy with it. No deposit, no upfront commitment. If the first draft isn't right, we revise it until it is.
What it is like to work with us.
I had an excellent experience working with PageDrop on redesigning my website, and I am extremely happy with the final result.
What I appreciated most was the team's ability to consistently guide me toward the best implementation solutions—both from an SEO perspective and based on established UX research—while still giving me complete freedom to make the final decisions.
I also received valuable recommendations on how to maintain and improve my website's visibility on Google, including practical guidance and an editorial plan for my blog. This gave me a clear strategy for continuing to build a strong online presence after the redesign was completed.
The entire process was smooth, efficient, and completed within a short timeframe, with very few feedback rounds required. The team quickly understood my needs, preferences, and vision, which made the collaboration especially easy and enjoyable.
I highly recommend PageDrop to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and efficient team that can deliver a well-designed, user-friendly, and SEO-conscious website, along with actionable guidance for long-term growth.

What small business website design actually has to do
Most small business websites do not fail because they look bad. They fail because they answer the wrong questions. A site built around a company story, a rotating hero carousel and a services grid is answering questions nobody asked. The person who found you is standing in a car park with one bar of signal, and they want three things: what exactly do you do, can I trust you, and how do I reach you right now.
That is the whole brief. Everything else on a typical small business site is either decoration or friction. A menu that hides your phone number behind two taps is friction. A photo gallery of stock offices is decoration. A blog last updated in 2021 is worse than no blog, because it tells a visitor the business may not still be running.
Answering those three questions well takes one page, not eight. Put your services and prices where they can be read, put real reviews next to them, put a tap-to-call number in reach of a thumb, and the page has done its job. Splitting the same content across eight pages does not add information. It adds navigation, load time, and four more chances for someone to leave before they find what they came for.
What you own after launch
You get the files. Every line of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, plus the optimised images, handed over as a folder you can put anywhere. There is no platform account holding your site hostage, no export that loses half the formatting, no subscription that turns your website off when it lapses.
Hosting is set up for you on Cloudflare Pages: static files on a global CDN, free forever, with unlimited bandwidth and automatic SSL. If you already have hosting you prefer, we use that instead. And if you decide in two years to move to another developer, you send them the folder. That is the entire migration.
Changes are handled for you rather than left to an editor you have to learn. Your $297 includes two content updates in the first year; after that it is $25 per request, not per item, so every text and photo change you need goes in one email and lands within 24 hours. Anything that adds to the page is quoted before work starts. And because the code is plain HTML and CSS, nothing about the site depends on us still being here.
Who this is not for
It is worth saying plainly, because the wrong fit wastes your money and our time.
If you sell more than a handful of products online, you want a real shop, not one page with a buy button. If your business runs on customer logins, patient records, a booking engine you own rather than link to, or anything that stores data, you need an application, and that is a different budget. If you offer fifteen genuinely distinct services in fifteen towns and want to rank for each one separately, you need a page per service, and a one-page site will cap you.
And if what you actually want is to redesign your own site every weekend, a builder subscription is the honest answer. You will pay more over three years, but you will get the editor you want, and that is a fair trade.
For everyone else, a single location, a clear set of services, and customers who find you on a phone, one page is not a compromise. It is the right shape for the job.
One-page website FAQ.
You get a complete website package — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and optimized images. It includes your content, photos, Google reviews, a contact form, and (if relevant) an embedded Google Map. Upload it to any host and it works, with no server-side setup needed. You own every file outright.
You don't need to - just tell us what to change and we handle it. Your $297 includes 2 free content updates in the first year. After that it's $25 per request: send as many text and photo changes as you like in one email - phone number, hours, prices, services, swapping images - and that's a single charge, done within 24 hours. Anything that adds to the page, like a new section or a booking system, is quoted before any work starts. No editor to learn, no login to remember.
No. We set up hosting for you on Cloudflare Pages — it is free forever with unlimited bandwidth, a global CDN, and automatic SSL. Your site loads fast from anywhere in the world and you never pay a hosting bill. If you already have hosting you prefer, we can use that instead.
Your price includes 2 free content updates in the first year. After that it's $25 per request, not per item - send every text and photo change you need in one email and it's a single $25 charge, done within 24 hours. Anything that adds to the page - a new section, a second page, a booking system - is quoted before any work starts, so you know the price first. Still cheaper than a single month of Wix, where you'd likely pay someone to make the changes anyway.
Just your business name, location, and a brief description of what you do. We handle the rest — researching your brand, sourcing photos from your Google Business profile, pulling your reviews, and writing your copy. If you have a logo or specific photos you'd like used, send them over. But you don't need to prepare anything special.
Wix and Squarespace aren't just a monthly fee — most people still hire a designer to build the site, adding $500–2,000 on top. After 3 years you've spent $1,000–3,000+ and own nothing. PageDrop is a one-time $297 purchase — design included. You get a custom website (not a template), full code ownership, no platform lock-in, and a 95+ PageSpeed score that crushes template builders. See the comparison table for the full breakdown.
At PageDrop, a complete one-page website costs $297 — one-time, design included. That covers research, copywriting, real photos, Google reviews integration, contact form, Google Maps embed, and a 95+ PageSpeed score. For comparison, hiring a freelance designer typically costs $500–2,000, and website builders like Wix or Squarespace cost $17–49 per month (plus $500+ if you hire someone to set it up). Over 3 years, that adds up to $1,000–3,000+ — and you don't own the site.
24 to 48 hours from the moment you submit your brief. We research your business, pull your Google reviews and photos, write your copy, and design the full site. You receive a preview link to review before paying. If you need revisions, those typically take a few hours.
For most local businesses — yes. A cafe, salon, dental clinic, cleaning service, coach, or studio does not need 10 pages. Customers need to know what you do, where you are, what others say about you, and how to reach you. That is exactly what a one-page website delivers. But some businesses genuinely need more - several distinct services, a training programme, an events calendar, a blog - and we build those too, as a full multi-page site on the same custom-coded terms, with no monthly fee either. If you outgrow one page later, the HTML is clean and portable, so extending it is straightforward.
Yes. Most local businesses do not need one, and we will tell you so rather than sell you pages - but when a business genuinely has more to say, we build the full site. A therapist with six services, a training programme and an events calendar does not fit on one page. It is the same custom-coded approach, the same 95+ PageSpeed target, the same files owned outright, and still no monthly fee. Multi-page sites are quoted per project, since the page count and the work behind it vary; ask and you get a fixed price before anything starts.
If customers search for your type of business online — yes. A Google Business Profile helps, but a website gives you full control over how you present your services, hours, photos, and reviews. It also improves your ranking in local search. A one-page website is the simplest, fastest way to get a professional online presence without the complexity or cost of a multi-page site.
