What pages does a business website need?

The core of almost every business site is five pages. Home orients visitors and routes them onward; About builds trust with your story and team; Services or Products explains what you offer; Contact makes it easy to reach you, ideally with a form, phone number, and map; and a clear enquiry or call-to-action page turns interest into leads. Everything else supports these.

Depending on your business, several add-ons earn their place: a blog or resources section for SEO and credibility, testimonials or case studies as proof, and an FAQ to answer common objections before they become blockers. In India it's also sensible — and for any site that sells online effectively required — to publish Privacy Policy and Terms pages, plus Refund and Shipping policies for e-commerce.

Resist adding pages for their own sake. A focused site where every page has a clear job converts better than a sprawling one. Start with the essentials, then add pages only when you have real content and a genuine reason for each, rather than to look bigger than you are.
