What to build, and what to leave out.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED

A homepage saying what you do, for whom, and where A page per main service or product An about page with real names and photographs A contact page with a phone number A privacy notice

Five to ten pages. That is enough for most businesses for a long time.

WHAT TO PUT FIRST

Your phone number, visible without scrolling, on a phone.

Many Nigerian customers will call rather than fill in a form. Make it tappable.

WHAT TO LEAVE OUT

Sliders Elaborate animations A blog you will not maintain Features nobody asked for

BUILDING IT

WordPress through Softaculous, with a light theme, is the usual route and the one with the most available help.

Or a designer, if the site matters commercially and you would rather not.

WHAT MATTERS MOST

Clarity, speed on a mobile connection, and being easy to contact.

Not visual sophistication.

THE TIMELINE

A simple site can be live in a weekend. An elaborate one waits months for content.
