How hardcore is a typical site for a newly launched Ltd?

I know - how long's a piece of string right? Buuut, a one-man contractor company: Do you have mega-sites like the BBC or really just a place filler and some contact info? Also wondering what people here normally use - wordpress, drupal, ...

Wordpress site here, all filler, no killer!

I have a page that says "come back soon". They stopped coming back after the first couple of years.

My site still exists it the form it did around 2008 when I put it up. Pretty ugly but I don't think it's aged, it was pretty ugly then too.

Plan B has a nicer site but I actually want people to look at that.

Haha, great. I don't have much free time right now so was predicting a place filler or wordpress out-of-the-box for me, but wondered if that'd be a demerit. If it's fairly common I won't panic about competing with facebook.

Mine's crap - single page knocked up in html. One day I'll do something with it. Maybe.

Mine is a few pages of content hosted by Google Sites set up in an afternoon a few years ago and hardly touched since. Presented as a 'consultancy' without any pretences to be BigCo. It does get occasional hits, mainly from agencies. I'd really like to move it off Google Sites at some point. I already have a web-server running but so far installing Wordpress or the like has evaded me.

I have a basic and now a little dated one page site with a blog. The whole thing was done in MVC/C# and was until recently hosted with DiscountASP. I moved the site over to an Azure VM because I get £100 worth of Azure credits free with the Bizspark programme. But I can recommend DiscountASP if your rolling your own.

Over the years I've only had a handful of contacts from the website but that could be because my website ranks low on google. However, when my CV goes out to clients I do notice an increase in traffic. I have all my testimonials on the site, this matters. I've heard from clients that testimonials on your website or linkedin do make a difference when they are choosing a contractor.

I have a very basic Wordpress site.

I'm going to buy a premium theme to tart it up a bit as Mr C looked at and said that it looked old-fashioned, and he expects all company websites to look like his (he's a non-IT permie).

I imagine agents think like this as well.

You don't need a site, just a good CV.
