If you’re a small business, nonprofit, or tradesperson in western South Dakota, you’ve probably wondered:
“Do I need a full website, or will a one-pager do the job?”
The answer? It depends. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you choose what fits your goals, your timeline, and your budget.
What’s a One-Pager?
A one-pager is a single scrollable page that includes all the essentials:
- Who you are
- What you offer
- Where to find you
- How to get in touch
It’s fast, mobile-friendly, and keeps your message focused.
One-Pagers Work Well For:
- Small service businesses just getting started
- Local contractors or tradespeople with one primary offer
- Temporary or seasonal campaigns
- Event landing pages or fundraisers
- Portfolios and personal brand sites
Solid Ground offers a dedicated One Pager Build starting at $600—perfect for small business owners who want to launch fast with a clean, effective website.
What’s a Full Website?
A multi-page site gives you more space to grow, organize, and communicate different kinds of information.
You might have:
- Home
- Services
- About
- Contact
- Blog, Events, or Ministries
This structure is better for SEO, long-term growth, and businesses with multiple service types or audiences.
Full Websites Are Ideal For:
- Businesses with 2+ service categories
- Churches and ministries with weekly content
- Nonprofits with events, outreach, and donation tools
- Anyone planning for long-term marketing or SEO
- Site owners who want to build out features over time
How to Choose What’s Right for You
Ask yourself:
- Am I just trying to get online fast, or am I building for the future?
- Will my site need to grow (e.g., more services, blog posts, events)?
- Am I trying to get found on Google—or just have something I can link to?
If you answered yes to growth or SEO, a full site is your best move.
But if you just need a clean, professional web presence today—a one-pager might be exactly what you need.
Local SEO Tip
Both one-pagers and full sites can be optimized to show up in local searches (like “Rapid City electrician” or “church website Spearfish”). The difference is: a multi-page site gives you more content opportunities, which helps SEO grow over time.
Final Thought
A good website isn’t about how many pages it has—it’s about how well it serves your audience. Whether you need one strong page or a custom full build, Solid Ground will help you find the right fit without the tech overwhelm.
