For example,

About Us- Containing simple staff profiles with a headshot and name and job title

Locations- With a list of our branches, each would need its own page with a map, opening times, telephone and e-mail contract details. A postcode search would be great.

Contact Us- With a contact form collecting the users name, e-mail address, phone number and their enquiry. This page would also need to show an automatic feed of images from our company Instagram account.

Pay online – A simple system setup with Paypal so a user can insert their name, email address, invoice number and amount and pay an invoice online, this would then e-mail them a confirmation that their payment has been received.
