What does the USD 500 one-page website include?

One page with a fixed set of sections: headline and offer, what you do, who it is for, proof, pricing or a price guide, frequently asked questions, service area and an enquiry form with WhatsApp and call buttons. It includes mobile layout, page speed work, basic on-page SEO, local business schema, Google Business Profile linking and a Google Search Console submission. Copy is shaped from your nine-question intake answers.

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.

How long does a one-page website take to build?

Five working days from the moment your completed intake form arrives, not from the moment you pay. One revision round is included and has to be sent back within five days of the draft. Most sites are live inside two weeks door to door.

Why is it so much cheaper than your other work?

Because the decisions are already made. You get a proven layout rather than a custom design, a written intake rather than a discovery process, one revision rather than open rounds, and a five-day slot rather than a project schedule. Nothing about the work is worse — there is simply far less of it to negotiate.

Do I have to pay the whole USD 500 up front?

Yes. At this price the whole thing is paid in full before the build slot is reserved. It keeps the price honest for everybody and it is the reason the five-day turnaround is possible at all.

One-Page Launch

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

For the business that still doesn't have a website at all. One page that says what you do, proves you're real, and makes it easy to call, message or enquire. No project, no discovery phase, no open-ended quote.

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

This is not a cheaper version of my usual work

It's a different product, for a different moment. Everything below is honest about which one you're in — 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 sending a link. ✓You want to turn up on Google under your own name and address, not someone else's directory. ✓You'd rather be live this month than still planning a big site 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 approve five rounds of layout. Fair enough — but not at this price.

The eight sections you get

Always these, in this order. It's the shape that works for a local service business, and it's fixed on purpose — the fixed layout is what pays for the low price.

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 plain words, with the things people always ask answered up front.

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

Who it's for

So the wrong enquiries filter themselves 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 the decision happens, not at the bottom.

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

Price or price guide

A from-figure, a range, or how you quote. Something, rather than silence.

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

Towns 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.

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.

FindableTitle, description, local business schema, and submitted to Google Search Console.

What USD 500 does not buy

Listed plainly so nobody discovers it halfway through — and next to each one, where it actually lives. Nothing here is off the table. It is 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 discovery call, no kick-off meeting. Two forms, one payment, one revision. The nine-question intake does the job a two-hour call usually does badly.

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. Payment in full 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

One consolidated list of changes. Then domain pointed, SSL on, submitted to Google, 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 from launch, the whole USD 500 is credited against a full build. You are not paying twice to start small.

The page itself carries forward too — it becomes the homepage of the larger site, so the headline, proof and structure you already paid for stay in place. What gets added is the pages you have grown into needing.

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 commissioning the full site on day one — except you had a working website earning enquiries for the nine months in between.

Where it sits against everything else

If you're between two columns, take the cheaper one. You can always move up, and the credit means it costs you nothing to have waited.

	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

Full detail on the two larger bands is on the pricing page, including what pushes a quote up.

Paying a stranger USD 500 up front

A fair thing to hesitate over. 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 visible but hard to book. Some booking buttons didn't work at all and key information sat out of reach. Same photographs, same rooms — a different decision path.

When a site feels easy, people act.

Questions people ask before buying

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

For most single-service local businesses, yes — at the start. If you sell one main thing to one main type of customer in one area, a single page that states what you do, shows proof and makes contact easy will out-perform a five-page site with a vague message. You outgrow it when you have several distinct services that each deserve their own page and their own ranking.

What does the USD 500 include?

One page with the eight sections listed above, mobile layout, page speed work, basic on-page SEO, local business schema, Google Business Profile linking and a Search Console submission. Copy is shaped from your nine intake answers. One revision round.

How long does it take?

Five working days from when your completed nine-question intake arrives — that is the longer form I send you after your enquiry, not the short one on this page. Your revision list has to come back within five days of the draft. Most sites are live inside two weeks door to door.

Do I need hosting and a domain as well?

Yes, and both sit inside the USD 49 a month care plan along with SSL, backups, updates, monitoring and small edits. The USD 500 builds the page; the care plan keeps it live. If you already own a domain you keep it in your own name and simply point it here.

What happens if I want a full website later?

The full USD 500 is credited against a larger build for twelve months from launch, and the page becomes the homepage of the bigger site. Nothing you paid for is discarded.

Why is this so much cheaper than your other work?

Because the decisions are already made. A proven layout instead of a custom design, a written intake instead of a discovery process, one revision instead of open rounds, a five-day slot instead of a project schedule. The work is not worse — there is simply far less of it to negotiate.

Do I pay the whole USD 500 up front?

Yes, in full, before the build slot is reserved. It is what keeps the price honest for everybody and it is the reason five days is possible at all.

Read these first if you're not sure

One page. Five days. USD 500.

And if it turns out you need something else, I'll tell you before you pay rather than after.
