Do I need a website if I have a Facebook page?
Your Facebook page is active. People follow it, message you there, and see your latest work. So paying for a website can feel like buying the same thing twice. It is not. A Facebook page and a website do different jobs — and the difference matters most on the day a ready customer searches Google, or the day Facebook changes the rules.
What a Facebook page does well
A page is good for updates, photos, conversation, community, and showing that your business is alive this week. For people who already know you, it is familiar and easy. Keep it. The mistake is not having a Facebook page; the mistake is asking it to be the only home your business has.
A page is rented land
Meta controls the page: the layout, the rules, who sees your posts, and whether the page stays published. Unpaid reach can be throttled, accounts can be restricted, and a page can be unpublished — sometimes while you are still trying to find out why. You built the audience, but you do not control the building it lives in.
A website on your own domain is different. You control the pages, the words, the contact route, and the customer information. Facebook can change its feed tomorrow without taking your home with it.
The search your page is missing
When people already know your name, they may find your page. When they do not know you yet, they usually search Google for the service and the town: the exact search made by someone ready to spend money. Facebook pages rarely appear for those searches. A website can — because it can have a clear page for each service, written in the customer's words, with your area, proof, prices, and next step in one place.
That same owned page is also something Google and AI answer tools can read and cite. A social post scrolls away. A website page stays at its address, ready to be found again.
They work best together
Use Facebook for the conversation and your website for the decision. Post the new work on Facebook, then point people to the page that explains the service and makes contacting you easy. Keep your business name, services, and contact details consistent in both places, so a customer who checks you twice finds the same business twice.
How much website do you actually need?
If you have one clear offer, a one-page website can be enough to give the business an owned home: what you do, who it is for, proof, area, and an easy text or email route. If you offer several services that each need explaining, those services need room to be found and understood separately.
How we fix it
Our One-page website is $500 — an owned home for a business that has been living on Facebook alone. Our Business website is $800 for up to 5 pages, when your services need pages of their own. Website work is 50% to start, and the balance is due only when your finished site is ready and approved by you, before it goes live on your own domain.
