Get a One-Pager: Fast, Modern, and Affordable
A physiotherapist in Villach needs a website. Not ten subpages, no blog, no shop. Simply one page that shows who he is, what he does, and how to reach him. That is what a one-pager is for.
A one-pager costs from EUR 89 per month or from EUR 900 as a one-off payment. It is ready in 5-7 working days. And for many SMEs in Austria, it is exactly the right solution – provided you know when it fits and when it does not.
What Is a One-Pager?
A one-pager is a website that consists of a single page. Instead of a menu with five subpages, your visitors scroll through different sections: About Us, Services, References, Contact. Everything on one page, without clicks.
Why this works: Most visitors to an SME website want to know exactly three things: What do you offer? Are you trustworthy? How can I reach you? A one-pager answers all three questions without detours.
A comparison: Think of your one-pager like an elevator pitch. No lengthy explanations, no side tracks. Just the essentials – clear, fast, convincing.
Who Is a One-Pager Suited For?
Perfectly suited for:
- Tradespeople and service providers – plumbers, electricians, hairdressers, photographers. A clear offering with a manageable scope of services.
- Freelancers and sole traders – therapists, consultants, coaches. One page is enough for a professional presentation.
- New businesses – you want to be online quickly without waiting weeks for a website.
- Businesses with one core product – if you do one thing really well, you do not need ten pages to explain it.
Not suited for:
- Businesses with more than 5 different service areas
- Companies that want to regularly blog or publish news
- Online shops (you need product pages for that)
- Businesses with multiple locations (each location needs its own content for local SEO)
Honestly: If you are unsure whether a one-pager is enough, it probably is not. Most businesses that start with a one-pager switch to a multi-page website within 12 months. If your budget allows, start with a business website straight away.
What Does a One-Pager Cost in Austria?
Three pricing models:
Template-based: EUR 900-1,200 one-off
You choose a design template that is adapted to your brand. Colours, fonts, logo – everything is customised. But the basic structure remains that of the template. Perfectly sufficient for most SMEs.
Custom-designed: EUR 1,200-1,800 one-off
The design is created from scratch for you. Unique, tailored to your brand. Makes sense if your business relies heavily on visual impact – architects, photographers, restaurants.
Subscription model: from EUR 89/month
No initial investment. Design, copy, hosting, maintenance, and minor changes are included. Over 24 months: EUR 2,136 total. More than the one-off payment, but without stress and with ongoing support.
Example calculation: A massage therapist in Velden pays EUR 89/month. Through his website, he gains 3-4 new clients per month. At EUR 60 per treatment and an average of 5 appointments per new client, that is EUR 900-1,200 in additional revenue. The website pays for itself in the first month.
What a Good One-Pager Must Include
A one-pager has limited space. Every section must count. These 7 elements are essential:
- Hero section with a clear message
The first thing visitors see. One sentence that says what you do and for whom. Not "Welcome to our website". Instead: "We repair your heating. Today. In Villach and the surrounding area."
- Services at a glance
3-5 services with one short sentence each. No novels. Your visitor scans – they do not read.
- Trust signals
Customer testimonials, partner logos, certifications, "Serving Carinthia for 15 years". Anything that shows you are not a newcomer.
- About us – brief and personal
A photo of you or your team. 2-3 sentences about who you are. People buy from people, not from websites.
- Contact form
Name, email, message. That is all you need. The fewer fields, the more enquiries. This is measurable.
- Phone number and address
Visible, not hidden. Many of your customers prefer to call rather than fill out a form. Make it easy for them.
- Google Maps
Especially important for local businesses. Shows your location and helps with local SEO.
One-Pagers and SEO – Does It Work?
Yes and no. A one-pager can rank well for 1-2 keywords. But it will never rank on page 1 for 20 different search terms – it simply lacks the content.
What is achievable:
- "Plumber Villach" – one local keyword per one-pager is realistic
- "Heating repair Carinthia" – a second related keyword works too
- Google Business Profile in combination strengthens local visibility
What is not achievable:
- Ranking individually for 10 different services
- Running a blog (no room on a one-pager)
- Competing for supra-regional keywords
Our tip: If SEO is your main strategy for acquiring customers, invest in a multi-page website. If you primarily win customers through recommendations, Google Ads, or social media, a one-pager is sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About One-Pagers
How long does it take to have a one-pager created?
5-7 working days from briefing. The most common delay: missing copy or images. If you have everything prepared, it can be done even faster.
Can I later expand my one-pager into a full website?
Yes. A well-built one-pager can be expanded with subpages at any time. Budget approximately EUR 800-1,500 for the expansion to a business website.
Does a one-pager look good on mobile?
It must. Over 70% of website visitors come via smartphone. Every one-pager we build is optimised for mobile from the start.
What happens if I cancel the subscription?
The website belongs to you. You can transfer it to another host. We assist with the handover.
Do I need my own domain?
Yes. A .at domain costs approximately EUR 10-15 per year. In the subscription model, the domain is usually included. We recommend: companyname.at or firstname-lastname.at.
