Starter vs Business Website Package: Which One Is Right for You?
Published August 1, 2026 · Site Mints Team
One of the most common questions we get before a project starts is simple: "Starter or Business - which one do I actually need?" Here's how to think about it, without the sales pitch.
Starter Is Built for a Simple, Clear Presence
If your goal is a professional online presence that answers "who are you, what do you offer, and how do I contact you" - a Starter site (up to 5 pages) usually does the job completely. It's the right fit for a new business, a service provider, or a shop that just needs to be found and trusted online.
Business Is Built for More Content and More Features
If you have multiple service categories, want a photo gallery, need Google Maps integration, or expect to add more pages as you grow, the Business package (up to 10 pages, with domain and hosting included) gives you the room to do that properly from day one instead of outgrowing a smaller site quickly.
A Simple Way to Decide
- Count how many genuinely different things you need to explain - one core service, or several distinct offerings?
- Do you want a photo gallery of your work or products, beyond a couple of images?
- Do you want your domain and hosting bundled into one price, or are you comfortable managing those separately?
If most answers point to "more," Business is usually the better value. If you genuinely just need a clean, simple site, Starter does the job without paying for room you won't use.
You Can Always Upgrade Later
Starting with Starter doesn't lock you in - as your business grows, pages and features can be added later. There's no need to overbuild on day one just in case.
