FAQs
What is a \"decision zone\" on a website?
It is the area on a webpage where users pause, think, and act—typically where a call-to-action (CTA), pricing table, or sign-up form is located.
Is a one-page website enough for my business?
Yes, especially when starting out. A one-page site using anchor buttons can effectively answer the who, what, where, why, and how without overwhelming the user.
Why do my social media icons matter for SEO?
If you leave default builder links (e.g., facebook.com/wix) on your site, search engines get confused about your identity, which negatively impacts your ranking and domain authority.
