- shared hosting;

- products or services, with a list of what the company offers;
- clients, generally highlighting the largest and best known;
- portfolio or key cases of success as a way to demonstrate that the company is reliable and delivers what it promises;
- contact via a form, in addition to addresses and telephone numbers.
- The reason for the sites being formed by these pages is one: it usually works.
- More than that: to define what the contents of each page will be.
