How to Write Website Content for Small Business

Good website content answers visitor questions, builds trust, and guides readers toward the next step. This guide covers how to write content for each page type.

Write for your visitor, not for yourself

Website content should address what your visitors need to know. What questions do they ask? What concerns do they have? What information do they need before contacting you?

Start with your visitor's perspective. Write answers to their questions, not descriptions of your business.

  • What problem does your visitor need solved?
  • What questions do they ask before contacting you?
  • What proof would help them trust you?
  • What is the next step you want them to take?

Homepage content guidelines

Your homepage should clearly state what you do, who you help, and what the visitor should do next. Avoid vague language. Be specific about your services and your audience.

Service page content guidelines

Each service page should explain what the service includes, who it is for, how the process works, and what the visitor should do next. Include proof like testimonials or case studies when possible.

About page content guidelines

Your about page should tell your story, explain your credentials, and build trust. Focus on how your background helps your clients, not just your biography.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start writing website content?

Start by listing the questions your visitors ask. Write answers to those questions for each page.

How much content does a website page need?

It depends on the page. A homepage may need 300 to 500 words. Service pages may need 500 to 1,000 words. About pages vary.

Should I write content before or after designing?

Before. Design should support your content, not the other way around.
