What Does Your Small Business Website Actually Need?

November 3, 2026 · 1 h 1 min

Show notes

Does your small business website really need a slider, testimonials, a blog, pricing tables, and every other feature you've seen on successful websites? Not necessarily. Websites are a lot like LEGO. They're made up of individual building blocks that can be arranged in countless ways. But just because another business uses a particular feature doesn't mean it's right for yours. In this episode, Matt and Mike break down the anatomy of a small business website, exploring what different pages and components actually do, when they're useful, and when you might be better off leaving them out.
