I want a simple website or a single page — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
A simple site that works answers four questions in thirty seconds: who you are, what exactly you offer, where you are, and how to reach you right now. Add a tappable phone number and a WhatsApp button — not an email form, since most people will not write an email. And make sure it is fast on a phone before it is beautiful on a desktop, because most of your visitors are on phones.
The mistakes that lose simple sites their enquiries, all fixable today: a phone number written inside an image so it cannot be tapped on a phone, an email form instead of WhatsApp (most people in Saudi Arabia will not email a service provider), no address or clickable map, and a homepage that does not say exactly what you offer in its first line.
And the order of priorities: speed on mobile before beauty on desktop, because most of your visitors are on phones and a slow page loses them before they see what you offer. What most slows simple sites is images uploaded at full camera dimensions — one five-megabyte photo doubles load time, and resizing it needs no developer.
And a point worth considering before building: one page genuinely suffices for most small businesses, and many empty pages hurt more than they help. Build one page that answers the four questions well, and add pages later when you actually have something to say — not to look bigger.
