What to include.
A small business website in Malta needs only a few things done well: a clear homepage, a page for each main service, real photos, reviews, prices or price ranges, and an easy way to call or WhatsApp you. It should load fast on a phone and match your Google Business Profile. With those in place, a small site can bring steady enquiries.

First question
Do you still need a website?
Many small businesses in Malta run on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and that can work for a while. A website adds three things social media cannot: you own it, Google can find it when people search for your service, and it looks more credible to customers who are comparing you with others before they call.
The pages
Which pages a small business needs.
A homepage that says what you do, where, and how to contact you, with your best proof near the top. A page per main service, each answering what it is, who it is for, what it costs roughly and how to book. An about page with real people and real photos. A contact page with your phone, WhatsApp, email, address, map and hours. A privacy policy, and a cookie notice if you use tracking.
That is often five to eight pages. More pages only help if each one answers a real question someone searches for.
See it working
Small sites that do one job well.
Two of our interactive demos. A furniture assembly and repairs business that takes bookings straight through WhatsApp, and a café site that makes the menu, hours and directions easy to find. Neither is complicated, and that is the point.

Cost
What it costs.
With us, a focused small business website starts from €990 excluding VAT. Sites with more pages, bookings or other features start from €2,490 and €4,900. Ask any provider what is included: hosting, the domain, updates, and who owns the site afterwards.
Speed
How to get live fast.
The site itself is rarely what slows things down. Content is. Before you start, write a short list of your services with a sentence or two about each, gather your best photos and three or four reviews, and decide what you want people to do: call, message or book. With that ready, a first version can be live within a couple of weeks.

Getting found on Google in Malta.
Most local searches in Malta show a map with businesses first, so set up and complete your Google Business Profile with the same name, address and phone as your website. Give each service its own page with a clear title, mention the areas you cover naturally, and ask happy customers for Google reviews. Fast loading and a good mobile layout help too.
Avoid this
Common mistakes.
Hiding the phone number or WhatsApp. Stock photos that could be any business. No prices or price ranges, so people call a competitor who shows them. Slow pages full of large images. A domain registered in a former designer’s name. And a site that never changes after launch.
Next step
When to upgrade.
Upgrade when the site starts to limit you: when you need online bookings, payments, a shop, or a connection to your CRM, or when you want to run ads and need landing pages that convert. Until then, keep it simple and keep it current.
