B2B vs B2C Website
| Aspect | B2B | B2C |
|---|---|---|
| Decision Makers | 3–7 people | 1 |
| Sales Cycle | 1–12 months | Minutes–Days |
| Order Value | €1,000–€100,000 | €10–€500 |
| Content Depth | Detailed, technical | Short, emotional |
| Trust Signals | Critical | Important |
B2B Website Structure
1. Home Page - **Clear value proposition** (who for, what, why) - **Logo cloud of major clients** (social proof) - **Concrete results** ("250% ROI in 6 months") - **Clear CTA** (book a demo, download guide)
2. Service Pages A separate page for each service: - The problem you solve - Detailed solution - The process (steps) - Price or pricing structure - Case studies - FAQ - CTA
3. Case Studies The **highest-converting content** in B2B: - Client (logo, name) - The problem - The solution - Results (hard numbers!) - Client testimonial - Preferably a video
4. Resource Centre - E-books - Whitepapers - Webinars - Templates and tools - Blog
Goal: email addresses in exchange for value.
5. Team Page In B2B, **people buy from people**: - Photos, roles, experience - LinkedIn links - Certifications
6. Pricing Page Even if the price depends on requirements – show a "starting from" price or a range.
7. Booking a Demo / Consultation - Calendar (Calendly, Cal.com) - Clear time commitment ("15 min") - What the prospect gets in return

Email Nurturing

|---|---|---|

| 3 | Case Study | Proves |
| 7 | Webinar Invitation | Engages |

The Estonian B2B Market
- Compact – everyone knows everyone
- Relationships matter – the impact of referrals is significant
- Conservative – trust takes time to build
- Price-sensitive – but willing to pay for quality
- EU regulations – GDPR, eIDAS, NIS2
Summary
A B2B website is the foundation of a long sales cycle. A good B2B site doesn't just "sell" – it educates, proves, and builds relationships. Invest in high-quality content and case studies; the results may take 12–18 months to fully materialise, but they will endure for years.
