How to Create a Website for a Company
Business website step by step - pages, design, SEO.
A company website does three things: builds trust, generates leads from Google, and serves as the digital business card. This guide walks through hosting selection, .com domain registration, WordPress setup, essential pages, on-page SEO, and a business email on your own domain.
How to Create a Website for a Company
Plan content and structure
Before starting, define the goal of the site: attract new clients, provide info about the company or sell online? Make a list of pages you need: Homepage, About, Services/Products, References/Portfolio, Blog, Contact. For each page prepare copy, images and CTAs (e.g. "Request a free consultation"). Define brand identity — logo, colors, fonts.
Pick and register a domain
The domain is your site address. For a US company we recommend .com (e.g. yourcompany.com) because it builds the most trust with American visitors and helps local SEO. Alternatives like .co or .us can work if your .com is taken. The domain should be short (under 15 characters), easy to remember and pronounce, without hyphens or numbers if possible, and ideally contain the company name. Register on BeoHosting from $16.30/year.
Pick a hosting plan
A business site needs reliable hosting with high uptime, fast loading and good support. On BeoHosting, the Business plan is ideal for companies — unlimited storage, free SSL, automatic backup, LiteSpeed server and business email (info@yourcompany.com). For smaller companies, Premium is enough. Key criteria: 99.9% uptime guarantee, SSD storage, expert English support and ability to scale.
Pick platform and design
For most business sites, WordPress is the best choice — easy to use, flexible and with thousands of business themes. Install WordPress via cPanel (one-click) and pick a professional theme. Free themes like Astra Business, Flavor or Flavor Business are great to start. For a unique design, use a page builder (Elementor, Divi) or hire a web designer. A business site must look professional — quality images, consistent brand colors and clean layout.
Create essential business pages
Every company needs these 6 pages: (1) Homepage — clear message of what you do, key services, CTA and social proof (references, numbers). (2) About — company story, team, values, mission. (3) Services/Products — detailed descriptions with prices or "Request a quote". (4) References/Portfolio — past work, testimonials, case studies. (5) Blog — regular articles for SEO and expertise. (6) Contact — form, address, working hours, Google Map, phone and email. Every page should have a clear CTA.
Set up SEO basics
SEO (search engine optimization) is key for potential clients to find your site. Install Yoast SEO or Rank Math. For each page configure: meta title with keyword and location (e.g. "Carpentry New York — Custom Furniture"), meta description (under 160 characters), H1 with the main keyword. Use SEO-friendly URLs (yourcompany.com/services/carpentry). Submit the XML sitemap to Google Search Console.
Launch and promote
Before launch, check: all pages and links work, the site is responsive on mobile, the contact form works, speed is acceptable (PageSpeed score 80+), SSL is active. After launch: share on social networks, add the link to every employee's email signature, register on business directories (Google My Business, YellowPages.com, Halooglasi), start writing 2-4 blog articles per month and consider Google Ads for faster results.

(+381) 60 3535 720How much does a company website cost?
If you build the site yourself with WordPress, costs are minimal: hosting (from $4.66/month), domain (from $16.30/year for .com) and optionally a premium theme (30-65 USD one-time). Total about $6-$8/month. If you hire a designer or agency, US prices range from $500-$2,500 for a simple site to $5,000-$15,000 for an advanced business site with custom design. BeoHosting also offers WordPress Pro Maintenance for companies that want professional site management.
Do I need a site if I have social networks?
Yes, absolutely. Social networks complement a site, they do not replace it. The site is yours — you control content, design and data. On social networks, algorithms decide who sees your content, rules change and accounts can be suspended. A site is available 24/7, ranks in Google, looks professional and gives credibility. 81% of consumers search a company online before buying — without a site you lose those potential clients.
What is the best domain for a company?
For a US company, .com is the best choice — it builds the most trust with American users and helps local SEO. Use the company name as the domain (yourcompany.com). If unavailable, try variations with location (yourcompany-chicago.com) or industry (yourcompany-carpentry.com). The .co and .us extensions are solid fallbacks. Register the domain for a longer period (2-3 years) for a better SEO signal and so you do not forget renewal.
How many pages does a business site need?
Minimum 5 pages: Homepage, About, Services/Products, Contact and Privacy Policy. Ideal 7-10 pages plus: Blog, References/Portfolio, FAQ and individual service pages. A dedicated page per service is better for SEO because you can target specific keywords. For example, instead of one "Services" page, build separate ones for "Custom furniture", "Kitchen renovations" etc.
How do I get the site on Google's first page?
SEO is a long-term process that needs consistency. Basic steps: optimize meta titles and descriptions with keywords, create a Google My Business profile (key for local SEO), publish blog articles regularly (2-4/month), earn backlinks from relevant sites (business directories, partners), ensure the site is fast and mobile-friendly. Results typically appear after 3-6 months. For faster results, combine SEO with Google Ads.
