    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

    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.
