Facebook page,
no website?
Yes, you still need the website. A Facebook page is a room in someone else's building. A website is your own address, and it is where Google sends people.
- Facebook: free, you own nothing
- One-page site: from $495
- You own the site and the domain
The details.
What is a Facebook page good at?
Staying in front of people who already know you. Quick updates, photos, reviews, messages. It is free and it is fast.
For a brand-new venture still proving itself, that is a real head start.
What can a Facebook page not do?
You do not own the reach. The algorithm decides who sees a post, and it shows most posts to a small slice of your followers.
People who search Google for what you do find websites, not Facebook posts. And there is no clean way to walk a stranger from interested to booked on your terms.
Do customers check for a website?
Many do, especially before spending real money. A Facebook-only business reads as a side project to a slice of buyers, fair or not.
A simple site answers the question before it gets asked: name, services, photos, a way to reach you, all in one place you control.
When is Facebook alone actually fine?
A hobby. A test of an idea. A referral-only business that does not want strangers.
If strangers should be able to find you and choose you, you need the site.
What is the cheapest sensible setup?
A one-page site with your services, photos and a contact route, with the Facebook page linking to it. That is the whole job at the start.
That is exactly what a Sitewhip Personal Site is: from $495, about a week, custom designed, and you own it.
