One Page Website
What is a one-page website
The homepage is usually all in one page. However, you can still add a blog area to the website and you can display the latest blog posts on that home page.
What are the benefits for a one-page website?
- Less information to skim through
- Deliver relevant information to your visitors
- Mobile-friendly
- Higher visitors’ engagements
- and likely more conversions
- Easy to maintain
- Low cost
So, who needs a one-page website?
- No online shopping cart. If your small business does not require an online shopping cart but simply want to showcase a few items that could bring potential customers to your brick-wall store
- Portfolios. If you’re a freelancer artist or a photographer, one page should be sufficient to show your information to potential clients about who you are, your completed projects, and a simple contact form for potential clients to reach you.
- Landing pages. This is the first and only page visitors will see on your website. All information they need to see at once. No clunky information to skim through. No distractions.
Hosting Services
Does your service include hosting?
These WordPress design packages require a domain name and hosting service. I recommended hosting with either Bluehost or SiteGround
What is the difference between domain and website Hosting?
You domain name is your identity online. A domain is not a website, it’s your name. It’s your (www-dot-somethingyouwanttocallit dot com, org, biz, etc.)
A website is often compared to a house. The SERVER is the land the house is built on. The server is the physical structure where your website exists. The website is the walls and all your stuff inside the house – the furniture and appliances.

Themes, Plugins, & Mobile Friendliness
What is a Premium Theme and does it come with this package?
These WordPress design packages require a domain name and hosting service. I recommended hosting with either Bluehost or SiteGround
What about plugins?
Basic plugins are free but may not include all functionalities and support. So there will be additional costs for pro plugins
Will our website work on mobile devices like smart phones and tablets, sort of like an app?
Yes, all Genesis themes are designed with a mobile-first approach. So, all the websites we design and develop will certainly work on smart phones and tablets.
Design Duration & Costs
How long does it take to build a website?
Websites are not the same so it takes time based on size and complexity of the website. And of course, your assistance in providing all the content and images needed to complete the website. A website could take a month while another could take six or more months.
How much will it cost me to build a website?
Just like the cost of a house, the cost of a website for your nonprofit can vary depending on a number of factors that have to do with the complexity of the features and functions to be added to the website.
Though our website projects generally start at $749, for few pages and could be over $2000. However, the final investment depends on additional features your company or organization needs on the site.
