What is a brochure website?
A brochure website is a website that shows people who you are, what you do and how to get in touch, without selling anything online. Like a printed brochure, it is built from a handful of core pages (home, a page for each service, about, reviews and contact), and customers read it, then ring, message or fill in a form. With Fixr Systems a brochure website is a Business site at £2,495 for up to 16 pages or a Starter site at £1,495 for up to 8, written and built to bring in enquiries.
The short version
- A brochure website tells people what you do and how to reach you; it does not take payments or sell products.
- It is built from a few core pages, and the number grows with the services you sell and the towns you want work from.
- With Fixr Systems a brochure website is designed, written and live within two weeks, at a fixed published price.
What does a brochure website mean?
A brochure website is the online version of a printed brochure. It explains what your business does, shows your work and your reviews, and makes it easy to get in touch. What it does not do is take money: there is no shopping basket, no checkout and no customer accounts.
That makes it the right kind of website for most businesses that sell a service. A plumber, an accountant, a cleaner or a garage wins work when somebody rings, messages or sends an enquiry, and a brochure website is built to make that happen.
What pages does a brochure website have?
Every brochure website has a home page, an about page, a reviews page, a contact page and the legal pages. The pages that do the real work are the ones in between: one for each service you sell.
The simplest rule for how many pages you need is to count what people search for. Start with one page for each service, then add one for each town you want work from. A business with four services in three towns needs more pages than a single page can carry, because Google shows a page that matches the search, not a page that mentions everything.
Each of those pages answers the questions a customer asks before they get in touch: what it costs, how long it takes, what areas you cover and why they should pick you. Phone, WhatsApp and a short form sit on every screen, so the enquiry is one tap away.
Brochure website examples
SV Autos is a mobile mechanic covering Soham, Ely, Newmarket and Cambridge. Its brochure website has a page for each service and each town, its prices in the open, and the phone number and WhatsApp on every screen, because a mechanic gets rung rather than emailed.
Benchmark Home & Business cleans and stages homes, holiday lets and business premises. Its site is organised around who is asking, so a homeowner, a host and a letting agent each start on their own page and send an enquiry that fits them.
Countryside Canines shows what happens when a brochure website grows. It explains the dog daycare, the barn and the pricing like any brochure site, and also takes bookings and payments, through a booking system built into the same site.
Brochure website vs ecommerce website
A brochure website brings in enquiries. An ecommerce website sells products and takes the payment on the page. If customers buy from you over the phone or in person, you need a brochure website; if they add products to a basket, you need an ecommerce website.
| Brochure website | Ecommerce website | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is for | Enquiries, calls and messages | Selling products online |
| Takes payments | No (bookings can be added) | Yes, at checkout |
| Pages | Up to 8 or 16 pages | Up to 50 or 150 products, plus content pages |
| Fixr Systems price | £1,495 or £2,495 | £1,995 or £3,495 |
| Live within | 2 weeks | 2 weeks |

Can a brochure website bring you customers from Google?
Yes, when it is built for the searches your customers make. A brochure website that is a single page saying everything gets found for very little. One with a page for each service and each place gives Google something specific to show for each search.
SV Autos had its first enquiry through its website about a week after launch, and was shown 632 times in Google's AI answers in its first eleven weeks live, measured in Search Console. That is a brochure website doing the job a website is for.
Every site we build starts with research into what your customers type, and the pages are planned from it. That is the part of web design that decides whether the site is found.
How much does a brochure website cost?
With Fixr Systems a Business website is £2,495 for up to 16 pages, with 4 SEO articles at launch and listings on Bing and Apple Maps. A Starter website is £1,495 for up to 8 pages, with competitor research and an enquiry widget. Every price is fixed and published on our pricing page, with no VAT to add.
A new business that needs to look professional quickly can start with a One Page website at £395, and move up later. Each site has a care plan covering hosting, security, backups, updates and small changes: £50 a month for Starter and Business, and £25 for a one page site.
How long does a brochure website take to build?
A Starter or Business website goes live within two weeks of sign-off, and a one page website within a week. When the deadline is tight it can move faster: the 70 page SV Autos site went from start to live in under a week.
What keeps it quick is having four things ready: your logo, your photographs, the list of what you sell and the towns you cover, and any reviews you already have. We write the words, so you do not need to.
What are the five types of websites?
The five most people mean are a brochure website (who you are and how to get in touch), an ecommerce website (selling products online), a booking website (taking appointments and deposits), a blog or content website (articles people read), and a web application (software that runs in a browser, such as a customer portal).
Most business websites are a mix. A brochure website can carry articles that answer customers' questions, and a booking system can sit inside it, which is how the sites we build tend to grow.
Is a brochure website right for your business?
If your customers find you, read about you and then get in touch, a brochure website is the right place to start. That covers trades, local services, professional firms and most businesses that sell their time and skill.
It is the wrong fit only when people need to buy products on the page, and then the answer is a shop. Either way, tell us what the business does and we will tell you which package suits it, with the price in writing before anything starts.
Before you ask
What is a brochure website?
A website that tells people who you are, what you do and how to get in touch, without selling anything online. Customers read it and then ring, message or send an enquiry.
How many pages should a brochure website have?
One for each service you sell and each town you want work from, plus a home, about, reviews and contact page. With Fixr Systems a Starter site has up to 8 pages and a Business site up to 16, and the home, about, contact and reviews pages come on top, with the legal pages included.
What is the best website to create a brochure?
For a business, the best brochure website is one built around its own services and towns, because each page can match a search. We design, write and build them at fixed prices, live within two weeks.
Can I add bookings or a shop to a brochure website later?
Yes. A booking system can be built into the site you already have, from £1,200, and a shop can be built when you start selling products, from £1,995. The site grows with the business rather than being replaced.
Is a brochure website good for SEO?
It is when it has a page for each service and place people search. That is how SV Autos was found within a week of launch, and why every page we build is planned from real searches.
