Landing page vs full website
A landing page is one page built to do one thing. A full website is your business on the internet. Both are legitimate purchases, and buying the wrong one wastes money in opposite ways: too small leaves demand uncaptured, too big pays for pages nobody visits.
What a landing page is for
A landing page serves one audience, presents one offer, and asks for one action: book, call, request a quote, join the list. Everything else is stripped away on purpose, which is exactly why it converts. It is the right first buy when:
- You are launching or validating something. A new service, a product idea, an event. You want a credible destination this month, not a content project this quarter.
- You run ads or promotions. Paid traffic pointed at a generic homepage leaks; pointed at a page built for that exact offer, it converts.
- Your business genuinely is one offer. A single course, one rental property, one specialised service. Padding that into six pages adds cost, not customers.
With us a landing page starts at EUR 1,490, and a full business website at EUR 2,290, so the price gap is real but not the main point. Scope is.
When a full website earns its keep
A full website is the right purchase when your business has more than one story to tell and needs Google to tell it. Concretely:
- Multiple services or audiences. A builder doing roofs, renovations, and new builds needs a page per service, because each one is a different search someone types into Google.
- Organic search matters to you. Rankings are earned page by page. One page can rank for one thing; a business that wants to be found for five things needs pages for five things.
- Trust runs deeper than one scroll. Projects, team, process, FAQs: for higher-priced work, buyers want to walk around the shop before they call.
If you are also weighing web apps or software in the same breath, website, web app or custom software sorts that out, and the website cost guide covers budgets in detail.
Key takeaways
- A landing page is one offer, one audience, one action. A website is your whole business, findable page by page.
- Choose by traffic source: ads and referrals suit a landing page; organic search demand needs a full site.
- Built on your own domain, a landing page is a foundation, not a dead end. It grows into the website.
- The wrong purchase in either direction wastes money. Match scope to how customers actually reach you.
Practical advice
Answer two questions on paper. First: how will visitors arrive? If the honest answer is ads, social links, and referrals, start with a landing page. If it is "they should find us when they search", plan the full site. Second: how many distinct things do customers hire you for? One or two, landing page. Three or more, website, because each service deserves its own page and its own search ranking. And whichever you pick, put it on a domain you own from day one, so the small version can become the big one without starting over. Timelines for both are covered in how long a digital project takes.
