What a business card website is, and what it is not
A business card website is a small site of one or a few pages. It answers three questions a customer has: who you are, what you do and how to reach you. There is no catalogue of hundreds of items, no cart and no customer account, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a shortcoming.
It also differs from a landing page in tone. A landing page pushes one offer with a strong headline, objection handling and repeated buttons. A business card site is calmer: it shows the company exists and gives a convenient way to contact it.
The format fits when clients come through referrals, Instagram, Telegram or a map listing, and the site mainly exists for trust. A partner wants to check you out, or a buyer needs your address and opening hours. It also suits a new project that wants to test demand before investing more.
Essential blocks for a small business website
Start with the first screen: one clear sentence about what you do, with a contact button right next to it. Skip phrases like “individual approach to every client” and write something concrete, such as “air conditioner repair at your home in Tashkent”, if that is true.
- First screen: who you are, what you offer, a call or Telegram button.
- Services: a short list, one or two lines of explanation for each.
- Proof: real photos of your work or premises, plus licences or certificates if your field requires them.
- Contacts: phone, Telegram, address with a map, opening hours and a landmark near the office.
- Company details, which add credibility when you work with other businesses.
- Links to Instagram or a Telegram channel that do not cover the main contact button.
Write in the words your customers use
Name services the way people search for them. A customer types “replace wiring in an apartment”, not “electrical installation works”. That wording is clearer to visitors and closer to real search queries.
Stock photos of an invented team hurt more than having no photos at all, because visitors sense the substitution. A few honest phone photos in good light work better than a glossy image of something that does not exist in your business.
Leads, Telegram and map listings
Keep the form short: name, phone, a brief comment. What matters most is where the request goes. If it sits in an admin panel or an abandoned mailbox, the site loses customers silently. Send requests straight to the responsible person on Telegram, then submit a test request from your phone after launch.
Make the phone number tappable and the Telegram link open a chat. Many people in Uzbekistan prefer to message rather than call, so offer both. Click or Payme payments are not needed on a business card site; if you want to take money online, that is a different kind of project.
For local businesses, the map listing is often viewed more than the website itself. Keep the name, address and phone identical in both places, and link the listing to the site.
What drives the price
An honest quote is impossible without a brief, but you can see what you are paying for. The price depends on a ready template or custom design, the number of pages, how many language versions you need, who writes the copy and takes the photos, connecting the form to Telegram, basic SEO setup, domain and hosting, and training on the admin panel.
Before ordering, clarify three things. Who the domain is registered to, which should be you. Whether you can edit text and photos yourself or every change goes through the developer. And what happens in a year: who renews hosting and the certificate, and how support is charged. A .uz domain looks natural for a local business.
When one small site is no longer enough
The signs are simple. You want customers from search for each service separately. A catalogue has appeared. Clients ask for online booking or payment. You need separate pages for cities or directions. At that point the site can grow into a multi-page one while keeping the domain and its search reputation, which is easier if you chose a platform that allows adding pages from the start.
If you need two languages, make both complete, since a half-translated page leaves a poor impression. Check phone numbers, address and prices regularly.

FAQ
How is a business card website different from a landing page?
A business card site introduces the company and gives contact options. A landing page sells one specific offer and pushes visitors to leave a request.
How many pages does a business card website need?
One long page or several short ones is enough. What matters is that services, proof and contacts are easy to find.
Who should own the domain?
You or your company. That way the site is not tied to a developer and can be moved elsewhere if needed.
Do I need both Uzbek and Russian versions?
It depends on your audience. If you offer two languages, make both complete rather than partly translated.
