Creating a Services Page

This article explains how to create a services page for your business website on Web60.

Planning Your Services Page

Before you start building, write down the services you offer. For each service, note:

• Service name
• Brief description (2-3 sentences)
• Price or "Contact for quote"
• Any special requirements customers should know

Keep descriptions simple. Your customers should understand what you do within seconds.

Creating the Page

1. Log into WordPress. Go to your website address followed by /wp-admin (example: yoursite.ie/wp-admin)

2. Click Pages in the left menu, then Add New

3. Enter your page title at the top. Most businesses use "Services" or "Our Services"

4. Add your content in the main text area. Start with a short paragraph about what you do, then list each service

5. Use headings for each service. Highlight the service name and click the heading button (looks like a large "H"). This makes your page easier to scan

6. Add images if you have them. Click the + button, select Image, then upload photos of your work. Keep images under 1MB each

Making Your Page Easy to Find

1. Set a page URL. In the Page settings on the right, change the URL slug to "services". This gives you yoursite.ie/services

2. Add to your menu. Go to Appearance > Menus. Find your services page in the left column and click "Add to Menu"

3. Consider adding contact details. End your services page with your phone number and email. Many visitors will want to enquire immediately

Layout Tips for Service Pages

Use bullet points for service features. They're easier to read than long paragraphs.

Include your location. Irish customers often search for local services. Mention your county or main towns you serve.

Add testimonials if you have them. A short quote from a happy customer builds trust.

Keep it current. Remove services you no longer offer. Add new ones as your business grows.

Publishing Your Page

Click the blue Publish button when you're happy with your content. Your page goes live immediately.

To edit later, go to Pages > All Pages, find your services page, and click Edit.

If you're still stuck, contact Web60 support through your hosting control panel. We can help with WordPress questions and technical issues.

FAQ

Q: How many services should I list on one page?

A: List all your main services on one page if you offer fewer than 10 services. For more services, consider separate pages for each category.

Q: Should I include prices on my services page?

A: Include prices if they're fixed and competitive. Use "Contact for quote" if prices vary significantly based on customer requirements.

Q: Can I change the services page later?

A: Yes, you can edit your services page anytime. Go to Pages > All Pages, find your services page, and click Edit.

Q: How do I add my services page to Google?

A: Google will find your page automatically within a few days. Make sure it's linked from your main menu and homepage.

Q: What if I don't have photos for my services?

A: Text-only services pages work fine. Focus on clear descriptions rather than finding stock photos that don't represent your actual work.

Q: Should I create separate pages for each service?

A: Start with one services page. Create individual service pages later if you need more space to explain complex services.

Q: How do I make my services page mobile-friendly?

A: WordPress themes are mobile-friendly by default. Keep paragraphs short and use headings to break up text for mobile readers.
