To turn your website into a selling tool for your company and maximize its effectiveness, make sure to include these main pages:
Undoubtedly, homepages are one of the most important areas on a website. Acting as a WELCOME board to the visitors, they usually get the most love andbring the majority of traffic.

It’s all about creating trust. It will pay off.
Important note: Many people get confused about the difference between Mission and Vision and often face difficulties when completing these sections. Let us briefly clarify this issue:
* Vision –outlines where your company wants to be and what to achieve over time; the timeframe includes a longer period. It communicates the company purpose but more in terms of company values rather than bottom line measures.
* Mission – explains how yourcompany is planning to get where it wants to be. It is a brief statement in a sentence or two, written for a shorter timeframe and defines company purpose and primary objectives.

Acting as a professional blog where you can share news and articles about your activity, the structure of the page is search engine optimized and respecting the principle of “1 page = 1 topic”, to assurethe highest level of internet visibility for all news published on your website. Each news/article is published on a separate page, allowing its individual content to be focused and related to one unique topic. Your news can even be easily shared to social media by visitors who arrived on your page and found what you published really exciting.
The Contact page is an absolute MUST. When it comes to connecting with customers, some people prefer to call; others would rather send you a message via your contact form.Make sure your business is easy to reach. Give your customers the freedom to contact you through a number of options. This is your direct contact to your customers so keep it straight-forward, currentand useful to your customers.
