What to put on the homepage of your service business website

Knowing what to put on the homepage of your service business website is no-longer a mystery. I’ve scoured the web and found the answers you need.

You will need…

The page title. This displays as the post or page headline. You may also want to add a sub-headline that expands upon or clarifies your main page title.
