Get a One-Pager: Fast, Modern, and Affordable

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:

  1. 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."

  1. Services at a glance

3-5 services with one short sentence each. No novels. Your visitor scans – they do not read.

  1. Trust signals

Customer testimonials, partner logos, certifications, "Serving Carinthia for 15 years". Anything that shows you are not a newcomer.

  1. 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.

  1. Contact form

Name, email, message. That is all you need. The fewer fields, the more enquiries. This is measurable.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
