Web design for your small business — simple, fast, found on Google, ready in 1-2 weeks
You own a guesthouse, clinic, local shop, workshop or service. You have 1-5 people in the company, no time for 3-month meetings with a Bucharest agency, no 5,000-10,000 EUR budget, but you need real online presence — a website that shows up on Google when someone searches your business in the area, looks professional and convinces the customer to call you or book directly. That's what I build: entry-level websites for small businesses, from 2,000 RON, ready in 1-2 weeks from confirmation. 5 pages optimized for local SEO, responsive design with 3 directions to choose from, working contact form, Google Maps integration, basic schema.org, Google Business profile, fast hosting on Vercel with SSL included. The most concrete result: Harmony Bed & Breakfast — 3-star guesthouse in Fălticeni, trilingual RO/EN/UA website, 9.8 rating on Booking.com, direct WhatsApp bookings.
The real problem: you're stuck between an amateur 500 RON site that doesn't show up on Google and a 5,000 EUR agency with a 3-month process
Pause for a second and think about the last 3 years. How many customers did you lose because you didn't show up on Google when they searched for your business? How many people walked past your guesthouse, your workshop, your clinic, your shop, without knowing you exist — because they searched 'guesthouse Bucovina', 'plumber Suceava', 'barber Fălticeni', 'dental clinic Iași', 'furniture workshop Botoșani', and you weren't in the top 10 results? For a small business, 5-10 lost customers per month never compensate for the savings made by not having a real website. And with 30-50 competitors in your city, every click you don't get goes to someone else.
Then comes the moment you look for a solution. And here begins the second problem — the small business website market is split brutally into two extremes. On one end are the 'web designers' charging 500-1,500 RON who give you a quickly thrown-together Wix or WordPress template, no SEO, no schema, no optimized pages, no Google Business — a site that looks 'ok' but no one finds. With nowhere to complain when, after 3 months, you realize no client comes from it, and that person is already on 10 other projects.
On the other end are the big web agencies — Bucharest, Cluj, Iași — charging 4,000-8,000 EUR for a 5-page presentation site, plus 6-12 months of process (repeated briefings, mockups, revisions, project managers, meetings). The site comes out beautiful, yes, but for a guesthouse with 8 rooms or a new dental clinic that hasn't yet recovered its equipment investment, that's not investment, it's financial suicide. And if in 2 years you want changes, you pay them again because the documentation is chaos and 'the project isn't standardized'.
Between these two extremes there's an empty space — the place where you need a real, modern site, found on Google, delivered in 1-2 weeks, paid once, that works for 5 years without you having to worry. That's where I come in. I build websites for small businesses from 2,000 RON, with 5 pages optimized for local SEO, correct schema.org, GMB included, fast hosting on Vercel (free first year), automatic SSL. Payment 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery. No hidden monthly subscriptions, no locking you to me forever. The code is your business's at the end, if you want to continue with someone else you can.
A good site for a small business doesn't need to be complicated. It needs to be clear (who you are, what you do, where to find you), fast (loads in under 2 seconds on phone), found on Google (when someone searches your business in the area), and convince the customer to take the simple action — call, book, come to the shop. Everything that follows on this page is about how that gets done concretely, with real examples (Harmony B&B Fălticeni), transparent pricing and a complete list of what's in the package.
What the presentation website for your business includes
The standard package for a small business starts from 2,000 RON and includes everything you need to be found on Google and convince the customer to contact you. I don't sell hidden 'extras' to inflate the invoice — the list below is everything in the starting price.
5 pages with clear structure
Home page (who you are, what you offer, why choose you), about/team page, services or products page (with indicative prices if appropriate), contact page with map and form, plus legal pages (privacy policy, terms). Enough for 80% of small businesses. If you need more (e.g. pages per service), we discuss at requirements analysis.
Responsive design — 3 directions to choose from
Before I actually start, you get 3 different visual directions (color palette, fonts, visual structure). You pick one or combine elements. The site looks impeccable on phone (where 70% of visitors come from), tablet and desktop. No off-the-shelf templates that look identical to 1,000 other sites.
Working contact form with email delivery
Simple, clear form (name, phone, email, message), with anti-spam validation, automatic delivery to your email, confirmation for the user. For guesthouses or services wanting bookings, I can add a form with check-in/out date or fields specific to your industry.
Google Maps integration with exact location
Embedded map on the contact page with the exact location of your office, click for directions. Connected with the Google Business profile for consistency (same address everywhere — important for local SEO).
Basic SEO on every page
Unique titles (meta_title) for each page, attractive meta description, correct H1-H3 structure, alt text on images, optimized loading speed. The site is ready to show up on Google from publication, not 6 months later through 'extra SEO strategy'.
Schema.org structured for local businesses
Structured data telling Google what kind of business you are (LocalBusiness, Restaurant, MedicalBusiness, Lodging, etc.), with address, phone, opening hours, reviews. Correct schema makes you eligible for special listings (rich snippets, knowledge panel, local map).
Google Business introductory setup
I set up your Google Business profile: correct category, address, phone, opening hours, description, first photo setup (I guide you on what photos you need). If you want full GMB optimization with review card and usage guide, that's the separate 450 RON GMB package.
Fast hosting on Vercel + automatic SSL (first year included)
Your site runs on Vercel infrastructure — the same used by ChatGPT, McDonald's and Stripe — with global CDN, automatic SSL, no technical settings for you to handle. First year of hosting and domain are included in the starting price. After, real hosting cost is under 100 RON/month.
Bonus on demand: Extra pages (175–250 RON per page — useful if you have 8 distinct services and want a page per service), SEO blog articles (175–250 RON per article), bilingual RO+EN version (suited for guesthouses with international tourists), WhatsApp Business integration with direct message button, translation into 2-3 languages as needed.
Transparent pricing, no hidden subscriptions
Payment is simple: 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery. Bank transfer, legal invoice. No mandatory monthly subscriptions, no contracts that lock you in for a year. Maintenance is optional — if you don't want changes, you stop after the third month, you pay nothing.
Why me, not a 'web designer' on templates or a big agency
There are people who make you a Wix template for 500 RON and tell you 'done, you have a site'. There are big agencies asking 5,000 EUR and 6 months for a 5-page site. Here's what you get working with me instead, for a small business that wants something real, delivered fast, at fair pricing.
I've already delivered websites for real small businesses
Harmony Bed & Breakfast — 3-star guesthouse from Fălticeni, micro-business with 8 rooms — has a trilingual RO/EN/UA site I built, 9.8 rating on Booking.com, direct WhatsApp bookings, SEO blog and presentation pages per room. Plus other local small businesses. Not invented portfolio — real small businesses, in production, demonstrable.
Solo plus AI — no agency overhead
I work alone, accelerated by Claude Code and modern tooling. That means you talk directly with whoever's building (not a project manager who then sends you the email), I deliver in 1-2 weeks (not 3 months), pricing stays 30-60% lower than agencies on the same scope. For a small business, that means the budget stays for your actual business, not for Pipera offices.
SEO included from day one, not paid extra
Sites for small businesses without SEO from day one are nearly useless. Every page in the package is built with correct meta, schema, clean structure, ready to show up on Google from publication. With a 500 RON Wix template you get none of that — with a big agency, SEO is often an 'extra package' of another 2,000-5,000 RON.
Source code handed over, no vendor lock-in
At the end you get all access — domain, Vercel hosting, associated accounts. The site is your business's. If in 2 years you want to continue with another developer or do modifications yourself, you can. I don't lock you in mandatory maintenance. With Wix or Squarespace templates you pay monthly forever; with my site, you pay once and stop when you want.
Real case: Harmony Bed & Breakfast — small guesthouse in Fălticeni with trilingual site
The most concrete example I can show is Harmony Bed & Breakfast — 3-star guesthouse with 8 rooms in Fălticeni, Suceava county. Typical micro-business, family-run, no IT manager, no big budget. The project is public, demonstrable anytime.
Harmony operated exclusively on Booking.com and phone. Paid 15-18% commission on every Booking reservation, lost direct contact with guests, couldn't build direct trust with tourists searching for guesthouses in Bucovina. Had no own site or had an old, unoptimized one not showing up on Google when someone searched 'pensiune Fălticeni', 'cazare Fălticeni' or 'pensiune Bucovina cu mic dejun'. Ukrainian tourists (relevant for the area) had no option in their language.
New site with 8 main pages, trilingual (Romanian, English, Ukrainian — important for Ukrainian-speaking tourists in the Bucovina area), responsive design with professional photos of the guesthouse. Pages per room with photos, amenities, prices, direct booking link. Complete schema.org Lodging, optimized Google Business profile with photos and opening hours. WhatsApp Business integration for direct bookings (no Booking commission). SEO blog with articles on 'tourist attractions Fălticeni', 'Bucovina monasteries', 'what to do for a weekend in Fălticeni' — attracts constant organic traffic. All built on Next.js with Vercel hosting, sub-2-second loading on phone.
Site indexed quickly, first-page Google appearances for local searches (pensiune Fălticeni, cazare Fălticeni). Direct WhatsApp and form bookings — saving 15-18% Booking commission for each direct customer. 9.8 rating on Booking.com sustained also through reviews from guests who first find the site, then confirm on Booking. For a micro-business with 8 rooms, every 5 monthly direct bookings at 200 EUR/stay = 150-180 EUR commission savings = over 1,800 EUR/year just from this. The site paid for itself in the first 3 months.
How I work — the process from first message to launch
The process is clear and surprise-free. Here's how a typical small business website project unfolds, from first call to the moment first customers call you or book directly after finding you on Google.
Initial conversation (30 minutes, free)
On Google Meet, phone, or over coffee (if you're in Fălticeni or the Suceava area). You tell me what business you have (guesthouse, clinic, shop, workshop, etc.), where you are, what service you sell, who your typical customers are. I tell you straight what a 2,000 RON site can do for you, what page structure would fit, if you need extra local SEO. Free, no obligations.
3 design directions and written quote
In 3-5 working days I send you 3 different visual directions (color palette, fonts, structure examples) plus the written quote with pages, features and firm pricing. You choose the direction you like or combine elements. No pressure, no obligation to decide on the spot.
Confirmation and 50% deposit — start in 24-48h
If the quote and chosen direction are ok, you pay 50% deposit (bank transfer, legal invoice), I start effectively in 24-48h. Domain and Vercel hosting setup, first mockup visible in the first week.
Iterative construction with live demo
I build the site in 1-2 weeks with a demo accessible at a temporary URL. Halfway through you see how it looks, give feedback, we adjust together. Professional photos, final texts, contact data — I get them from you along the way (I guide you what and how).
Launch, access handover and support
Public launch, registration in Google Search Console, fast indexing, access handover (domain, hosting, accounts). Remaining 50% paid on delivery. 30 days of free support for inevitable adjustments. After, optional maintenance adapted to your needs, cancellable anytime, no penalties.
Frequently asked questions
What's the total cost for a website for my small business?
Basic package with 5 pages, introductory GMB and first-year hosting: from 2,000 RON. Full SEO package (more pages, blog, local pages): from 3,000 RON. Separate domain (.ro): about 60-90 RON/year. Hosting after the first year: under 100 RON/month. Predictable total, no hidden costs. You get a written quote with firm pricing in 3-5 working days after the first conversation.
How long does development take?
1-2 weeks standard from confirmation and deposit. We start effectively in 24-48h after I receive the deposit. If you have photos and texts ready, we can finish in 7-10 days. If we have to wait for a photo session or your materials, the duration depends on you — the technical site is done, we just wait for final content.
What do I need to provide for the site?
I guide you exactly, but generally: logo (if you have one — if not, I can recommend separate graphic design), 8-15 photos of the space/products/team (I guide you how and with what to take them, you don't need an expensive professional session for a simple site), text describing the business (or I help write it together), contact data (phone, address, email, opening hours). That's it.
Do I handle domain and hosting or do you?
I handle everything. I register the domain in your business's name (it stays yours, not mine — I hand over the access), configure Vercel hosting, set up automatic SSL, connect email with your domain if you want. You don't have to understand anything technical. First year of domain and hosting is included in the starting price.
Is it GDPR compliant? Do I have to worry about cookies?
Yes, GDPR compliant. Privacy policy adapted for Romania (references to Law 190/2018 and GDPR), cookie banner with granular acceptance, contact form with explicit consent for data retention. All elements needed for compliance, no unnecessary legal jargon. For services with sensitive data (medical clinics), I adapt the policy further.
Can I see real results before deciding?
Yes. I can run a live demo of Harmony B&B and other small projects delivered. You see how it looks on phone, how it loads, how it appears on Google. Plus direct links you can access and verify yourself. Not edited screenshots, real sites in production. The demo discussion is part of the initial 30 minutes, free.
