Corporate Website: What It Is, Examples, Structure

Short answer: a corporate website is the site of a company, not of one service. It runs 5–10 pages: services with prices, work samples, about, team, reviews, careers, contacts, sometimes a blog and a client area. You need it when the customer compares several companies and wants to decide whom to give the job to, not merely find a phone number. A business card is not enough for that; an online store is a different problem. Corporate Lite — from $1,325 (₴55,000), Standard — from $2,145 (₴89,000), Premium — from $3,494 (₴145,000), from 3–4 weeks.

What a corporate website is, and when you have outgrown a card

A corporate site has to persuade someone to work with the company as a whole: its services, its people, its terms. The person choosing a renovation contractor, a cleaning supplier or a real-estate agency compares several sites in one evening. Their questions are different: have you done something like this, who is accountable, and what happens after payment.

Four signals that a card is no longer enough:

1. More than three services, each with a scope. On one page a list gets skimmed; a page per service holds attention.
2. Customers ask for examples. If you send work photos in a messenger every week, those photos belong on the site.
3. Several people join the decision. Owner, accountant, technician — each arrives with their own question: price, documents, warranty.
4. You need leads that carry data. A calculator, a form asking for area and photos, a booking — that is structure, not “write to us”.

The sections a corporate website is made of

The list below is the skeleton we start from on almost every build. We do not add sections we cannot fill: an empty “company history” works against trust.

Section	Why it is there	It fails without
Home	explains who you are and for whom in 15 seconds	a first screen with a figure or an action
Services	the list of directions plus a page for each	“from” prices and a scope of works
Work samples	shows the process, not only the result	deadlines and what the job included
About	name, experience, licences, team	real names and real photos
Prices and terms	removes “how much” and “how do I pay”	payment stages and a warranty
Blog or materials	answers the questions people search	two or three posts a month, otherwise the section is dead
Careers	cuts recruiting down to a form	task descriptions instead of “send a CV”
Contacts	call, directions, form	a tel: link, a map, a named responder

One section gets confused most often: a portfolio is not a gallery of pretty shots. For a construction company it is a project with stages and dates, for a cleaning firm a typical contract, for a school a completed cohort.

How a corporate site differs from a card, a landing page and a store

Attribute	Card	Landing	Corporate	Store
Pages	1–3	1	5–10	10–40 plus products
Goal	be found and called	an enquiry from an ad	persuade after comparing	sell online
Registry price	from $699 (₴29,000)	from $699 (₴29,000)	from $1,325 (₴55,000)	from $1,446 (₴60,000)
Timeline	2–3 weeks	2–3 weeks	3–4 weeks	5–8 weeks
Who edits content	the client in the admin panel	the studio per campaign	the client	the client daily

Getting this wrong costs the client twice. Sell a card where a corporate site is needed and in six months there is nowhere to put the services, so the work starts again. Sell a “corporate site of 18 pages” where a card was needed and half the pages stay empty on a bigger invoice.

Six corporate sites we built, in the clients’ own words

Every example is a real DEXA project. We do not publish our clients’ commercial figures, so what follows is scope and timeline, not “N% growth”.

A cleaning company in Kyiv

Twelve cleaners, orders taken by phone and in Viber, a manager asking about rooms and bathrooms in chat, and some customers disappearing once a number was spoken. We built a Corporate Lite site with a calculator above the fold: cleaning type, rooms, extras — and the price with the duration appears at once. Then a free slot taken from the cleaners’ schedule in the CRM, card payment, a checklist delivered to the cleaner through the Viber bot, a photo report to the client, and a repeat booking in one click two weeks later. Eight pages, 5–6 weeks. Details in the cleaning case.

A construction company in Lviv

Clients picked contractors from social-media photos, the site was a page with a phone number, and leads arrived without an area. We built a site that shows the work: a page per project with stages, dates and before-and-after photos, services with a price per m² guide, a guarantees-and-contract section, and a lead form that asks for area, work type and photos up front. Six pages, 4–6 weeks. Example: the construction company case.

A driving school in Odesa

Nine instructors, prices explained by phone, driving lessons booked by phone, instructors overlapping in the timetable. We built a Corporate Lite site in two languages with a course calculator: category, gearbox and theory format produce the full total, the payment stages and the nearest group date. The lead lands in the CRM and the Telegram bot, and the student gets an area with tests and self-service lesson booking. Eight pages, 6–7 weeks. Details in the driving school case.

A restaurant in Lviv

A 64-seat venue with a terrace and a banquet hall ran without a site: a menu in a PDF, bookings in a notebook, banquet requests lost in DMs. We built a Corporate Lite site: the menu in the admin panel with prices, portions and allergens, table booking by date, time, guests and zone, separate pages for banquets and events, a chef’s dinner schedule, gift certificates with payment, QR codes on the tables. Eight pages, 4–5 weeks. Example: the restaurant case.

A travel agency in Lviv

The job was not “a site with contacts” but a selection tool: tour search by destination, dates and budget, hot deals, a matched shortlist with an enquiry. Eight pages, 5–6 weeks. Details in the travel agency case.

A real-estate agency in Kyiv

A property catalogue with filters, a listing page with photos and a floor plan, viewing requests, and a deal CRM so the agent does not lose the contact between a viewing and a signed contract. Eight pages, 7–9 weeks. Example: the real-estate agency case.

How many pages you actually need

The rule is simple: as many as you can fill today, plus two for growth.

Guidance by business type:

• B2B services (cleaning, renovation, legal, logistics): home, two or three services, samples, about, contacts. Six or seven pages.
• Education (driving school, online school, kindergarten): home, courses or groups with prices, schedule, teachers, enrolment, contacts. Eight pages.
• A venue with a physical address: home, menu, booking, banquets and events, certificates, contacts. Eight pages.
• A catalogue or property list: home, filtered list, item page, services, about, contacts. From eight, then by catalogue depth.

What not to do: a page per city without a project in that city, a news section with two posts a year, and separate pages for “service A — variant 2” of different price packages.

What a corporate site costs, and what moves the figure

Tier	What it includes	Price	Timeline
Corporate · Lite	up to 7 pages, custom layout, admin panel	from $1,325 (₴55,000)	3–4 weeks
Corporate · Standard	5–10 pages, lead automation, three languages	from $2,145 (₴89,000)	4–6 weeks
Corporate · Premium	10–20 pages, three languages, integrations and a client area	from $3,494 (₴145,000)	6–10 weeks
Support after launch	edits, content changes, monitoring	from $72 (₴3,000)/mo	monthly

Scope and timelines from the price registry, updated with the price list

Service	From	Timeline
Corporate site · Lite (up to 7 pages, custom layout)	from $1,325 (₴55,000)	3–4 weeks
Corporate site · Standard (5–10 pages, custom design, 2 languages)	from $2,145 (₴89,000)	4–6 weeks
Corporate site · Premium (10–20 pages, 3 languages, CRM)	from $3,494 (₴145,000)	6–10 weeks
Support · Lite	from $72 (₴3,000)/mo	monthly

Three things move the price inside one tier:

• Content. Texts, project photos and the service list from the client’s side are half the timeline. If the material does not exist, someone has to collect it, and that is not layout work.
• Integrations. CRM, payments, a calculator, a client area, 1C sync — each of these moves the build from Lite into Standard or Premium.
• Languages. Two or three languages are not a translation of the home page: they are two or three sets of copy, hreflang and separate addresses in the index.

Judge the cost by service life, not by the invoice

A corporate site works for three to five years. Over that period three things will happen anyway: prices change, new services appear, someone asks to “add a page for this direction”.

What to count	How it looks	Registry guide
Start	layout, content, integrations	$1,325–3,494 (₴55,000–145,000)
Ongoing support	price changes, new services, copy edits	from $72 (₴3,000)/mo a month
Work outside the plan	one-off tasks the plan does not cover	from $41 (₴1,700)/hr an hour
Speed and technical fixes	slow pages, errors after updates	from $241 (₴10,000)

If the site ships without an admin panel, every line “change the price” becomes a ticket to a developer. That is why the panel is part of the corporate tier and not sold separately.

What belongs in the contract, and what happens at handover

Five clauses decide whether the site is still yours in a year:

1. Scope as a list: pages, blocks, integrations, languages. “Corporate website” as a subject is too broad to enforce.
2. Estimate and payment schedule: 30/40/30, 50/50 on Lite. The figure does not change retroactively.
3. Deadline and warranty: 30 days, 60 on the corporate Standard and 90 on the Premium.
4. Access: the domain in your name, hosting in your name, CMS and admin logins, analytics, integration keys. Handover of access is its own delivery line.
5. What happens to URLs: if the site replaces an old one, a 301 map preserves rankings. That is part of the work, not a favour.
