How many pages should a website have?

How many pages a websites should have is a great question!

It really depends on the nature of the website and what it’s trying to achieve. Websites that are informational only and just trying to get a specific message across like an event website or website for a church don’t need to have that many. They could have a main homepage, about and event page and that’s about it. Maybe a few others. This will be totally fine and suffice.

Website Pages SEO Websites that need to perform in competitive markets need search engine optimization or SEO. In order to rank at the top of search engines websites need to have a deep amount of content and this requires a lot of pages. For example, a service page shouldn’t just list all the services. It should have links out to pages for each individual service. This creates a lot of pages.

The more pages your website has the more people will look to you as a leader in your industry. Our website, the one that you’re on currently, has over 1,100 pages! We have 62 standard pages, 375 blog posts, 108 categories and 581 tags which adds up to 1,126 pages total.

This is an incredible amount of content depth on our website and why we rank at the top of the search engines. We are a big fan of the WordPress platform because it allows you to have a lot more pages just by making a blog post. For example, on this blog post when we add tags and categories to it it creates six or seven or eight new pages for each one blog post. This is not possible on a SquareSpace or Wix website.

It’s really important to use WordPress and use the blogging function on it if you want to increase SEO. We have so many blogs going all the way back to 2013 is why we rank so high. If you’re looking to move your business up on the engines definitely contact us today. We can help you! Fill out the contact form located here and we can get started today.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
