Our Roost Web Micro Sites are designed for people who want to add a simple, yet elegant, website to their web presence. A micro website is a one-page site, also often known as a “brochure site,” that can be set up quickly, inexpensively to present your business and brand. If you have your content already prepared, sometimes the site build can take as little as a day! This could be a great solution for you if you just want to get your brand online right away and you don’t feel comfortable doing all of the work yourself.
Who is a Micro Website good for and why?
A micro website is often a really great and inexpensive solution for small businesses who just want to get an online presence off the ground and accomplish some fundamental (yet crucial) things like:
- Get your business name out there
- Have a website to directly link to from:
- Google My Business
- Social Media
- Other sites and online listings
- Get found on search engines
- Create some online advertising to boost your visibility
- Have a place where people can:
- Contact you via a form
- Get your phone number and other information
- Sign up for a newsletter
- Request services
- Make inquiries about your products
- Find links to your social media
- Bounce on over to your location at an online marketplace like Etsy or Amazon
How much does a micro website cost?
The cost for a micro website here at Roost Web Strategies is just $699 and that includes:
- site setup and customization*
- setup of your content (that you provide) on the page
- a one-year .com or .net domain name**
- an SSL certificate
- a year of hosting on our micro site network†
What are the benefits of choosing a Roost Web Strategies Micro Site over others?
We make it easy to have your own micro website
We set up your site and content for you. Then, we also maintain your core files, plugin and theme updates, security, and backups so your site stays up to date and secure. Need a bit more than what comes with the base starter site? We can set that up for you too. Need email? We have some good options to choose from. Need to grow your site beyond the micro? We’re ready for that whenever you are!
We don’t leave you on your own
A lot of starter website services get you set up and running and then leave you on your own to make content updates on your website and keep things active. We call those DIY (Do It Yourself) services. That’s not us. We set up your site for you and we enter your initial content, but, we also include an hour of screenshare training to make sure that you can edit your site if you want to. You can also hire us to make updates to your site. You choose how you want to do it, and we’re here to support that decision.
We’re on your team and we’re not going anywhere
We’re your website partner, and we’ll be here when you need us. We’ll even reach out to you periodically to check in and give you some ideas on what you could change/add to your site to keep it fresh.
Is a micro website right for you? Just ask us!
Not sure a micro site is right for your website? Contact us and we can help you decide. Our goal is to help our customers find success in their online presence, and that all starts with building a solid strategy. Our first consultation is free, so please reach out to us if you have any questions at all or would like to set up a time to talk.
Notes about micro sites:
* Site will be customized to match your brand, including colors, your logo, and some graphical elements (up to two hours of our time). We will discuss with you ahead of site setup to learn what customizations are important to you and how long those customizations will take. If they will take longer than two hours, we will let you know ahead of time, and may ask you to pay extra for those customizations.
** .com and .net domain names are $15 per year and are default options for a micro site. Other domain names may be more expensive and we can discuss those options before you sign up. More expensive domain names may increase the cost of your micro site.
† The following year the micro site package will renew at $95 and will include your .com or .net domain name registration for the year, SSL certificate and a year of hosting on our micro site network.
