A simple one-page website, in your name from day one

The domain is your address on the internet, like yourbusiness.pl or yourbusiness.com. It is rented for a year at a time from a registrar, a company that sells domains, and renewed every year.

A good domain is short, easy to say on the phone, without hyphens, and close to your business name. For a business in Poland a .pl address is the natural choice, .com if you work internationally.

Watch the renewal price, not just the first year: registrars often sell the first year cheaply and charge several times more from the second. I check that for you before you buy.

Hosting is the computer where the files of your website live, switched on day and night, so the site opens when someone types the address. The domain points to the hosting, like a street address points to a building.

A one-page website is light, so it does not need expensive hosting. Often it can run on a free plan of a static hosting service: this website, volobado.com, runs on Cloudflare Pages and pays nothing for hosting. If you want email boxes or WordPress later, a regular paid hosting plan makes more sense, and I tell you which one.

Because whoever owns the domain owns the website. If a developer registers it in their name, then in two years you pay again, or argue, to get your own address back. It happens often, especially with agencies.

• We choose the domain and the hosting together on a short call
• You create the accounts with your email and pay with your card, usually in ten minutes, with me on the screen if you want
• You give me access for the setup, and remove it when the site is live

The money for domain and hosting goes straight to the providers. It never passes through me.

An address like [email protected] looks more serious than a free mailbox. You can either buy real mailboxes, from your hosting or from a service like Google Workspace, or simply forward the address to the mailbox you already use. This site does the second: [email protected] forwards to a normal inbox, at no cost.

• Domain: usually tens of zloty or dollars a year, depending on the ending and the registrar
• Hosting: free to a few dollars a month for a one-page site
• Email: free forwarding, or a monthly fee per mailbox if you want real mailboxes

I give you exact prices for your choice before you buy anything, renewals included.

Both are a single page, but they are built for different visitors. A one-page website is your business card on the internet: it tells anyone who finds you who you are, what you do, and how to reach you. It works for your name, for Google Maps and for organic search.

A landing page is built for one advertising campaign: one offer, one action, no menu, written for people who clicked a paid ad. It turns a click you paid for into an enquiry.

If you plan to run ads later, the campaign usually gets its own landing page, and the website stays as it is. If you only need to be findable and look serious, the website is enough.

When you have several different services that people search for separately, each of them deserves its own page, because one page cannot rank for everything. A one-page site can grow into that later without starting over: new pages are added next to it.
