Every web page needs to be tailor-made for a purpose of some kind (e.g., sell a product or service, provide important contact information, etc.). However, there are many types of web pages that generally adhere to similar design layouts and best practices.


In this post, we've listed some of the most common types of web pages along with fantastic tips from Duda's in-house design team on how to create them effectively.


A Guide To the Types of Web Pages

For quick reference, here are the types of web pages we've included in this blog post:


Contact Page

Almost every business-oriented site on the web has a Contact page.

Here is what you need to remember when creating this kind of page:

  • Keep the layout clean and Simple

  • Include important information and make it easy for the user to get in touch:
  • Contact info (i.e., email, phone numbers, address, social media, etc.) 
  • Contact form
  • Business hours
  • Map (if the business has a physical location)
  • Click to call (essentially for mobile)Same branding - Look and feel
  • Keep the branding and design consistent with the rest of the website


Testimonials Page

Positive testimonials are important for all kinds of businesses and many choose to create a dedicated page on their website to display them.

Here is what you need to keep in mind when designing a Testimonials page.

  • Select customer testimonials that highlights the value of the business
  • Keep the amount of text for each testimonial short — no one reads huge blocks of text and it usually looks bad in the design
  • Include a call-to-action so people can reach out to the business from the Testimonials page
  • Try adding videos of customers telling their stories large amounts of text


Services Page

A business that offer services to their customers need a place on their websites to display them. Hence, many websites maintain a dedicated Services page.


Here is what you need to know about this type of web page:

Essential in website for businesses that offer service to their customers

  • Consider giving each service its own page — this can have SEO benefits
  • If you choose to create multiple pages, use the same design layout for each one (this is a fantastic use case for Dynamic Pages)
  • Use a clear and easy to navigate design that includes:
  • The name of the service and a detailed description
  • The benefits and value of the service
  • Pricing
  • A call-to-action
  • Keep the text short


Careers Page


Lots of businesses use their websites to let people know they're hiring. Here are some things to think about any time you create a Careers page.

  • Include a headline that grabs candidates’ attention and content that communicates something important about the company's culture
  • Add an elevator pitch that describes why someone would want to work for the company
  • Show off the company's values of the company
  • Display images of the company that reflect the atmosphere
  • Create succinct, enticing job descriptions for current openings
  • Display employee success stories
  • Tell people the advantages of working for the business

Team Page

One of the goals of any business website is to turn visitors into customers. One of the most effective ways to do that is to show people who they're working with. A Team page is often used to create a personal connection with potential customers. 

Here is what you need to know about Team pages:

  • Include photos of employees — this may take the form of an image gallery
  • Display short bios for every team member
  • Provide contact information for each individual
  • Add a few short sentences about the team as a whole


Images are very important in web design. Creating a Gallery page full of images is a great way to show off previous projects, new products, a business’s atmosphere and more. 


When creating a gallery, be sure to:


  • Use high quality images (don't forget the copyright if the images are not yours)
  • Use images that communicate the value of the business
  • Include images that match the branding of the website (color, look and feel)
  • Match the colors and create contrast (do not hesitate to take inspiration from other websites)
  • Be creative and try different gallery layouts


Media Page

Almost any organization, of any kind, can benefit from a robust Media page on their website. Though creating this type of page doesn't necessarily generate new media mentions for the organization it represents, it does make it much easier for journalists to find the information they need to create excellent stories. The Media page also has a secondary benefit of providing potential customers with information on the business that came from an independent third-party.

Here are a few elements to include on any Media page:

  • A boilerplate (i.e., a brief description of the organization or business)
  • Previous media mentions in the form of links to press articles and videos that reference the business
  • Press contact information (i.e., the contact information for the person in the organization who handles press inquiries)
  • A media kit in the form of a downloadable zip file that contains images, logos and photos that you wish to make readily available to anyone writing a story about the organization or business
  • Press logos of media outlets in which the organization or business has been featured


About Page

An About page is one of the most common types of web pages that can be found on almost any website. This is one of the few places on the website that should be less customer-centric and more focused on unashamedly promoting the business.


Here is what needs to be included on an About page:

  • The name of the small business
  • The location of the business
  • A brief description of what the small business does
  • A list of specialized products or services
  • A bit of the SMB’s history
  • Who the small business serves 
  • Any important facts and figures (e.g. number of customers served) 
  • Company mission statement or philosophy
  • A contact form
  • FAQs


Website Under Construction Page

The main purpose of a Website Under Construction page is to let the visitor know they are, in fact, at the correct web address, but the site is still in the process of being built. These pages are relatively simple and don't usually have much more than a nice design and a message to return to the site later. However, that doesn't mean you can't get creative.

Here is what you need to think about when creating a Website Under Construction page:

  • Provide visitors with an intriguing design that offers a glimpse at what the website will look like when it's ready
  • Display some basic information about the business or organization
  • Include a button or link that will direct users to a web address where they can engage with the business or organization right away (if one exists)
  • Add contact information (or maybe even a contact form)


Summing Up

We hope you find these tips helpful when creating the above types of web pages for your customers. Just be sure to remember, no matter what kind of page you're creating, that each page has a specific purpose. Any text, images or other elements added to the page need to support its mission. Anything that doesn't is merely a distraction.

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.
By Santi Clarke April 24, 2025
One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.

Your team is likely pretty familiar with the products they built, but what about the ones they didn’t? Integrated tools can throw a wrench into your support operations, but they don’t have to.
