Many Internet based business owners enjoy the flexibility that mini sites add to their online empire. Mini sites can stand alone, or they can be linked to your main website. They can be used for a certain promotion or length of time and taken down when no longer have needed or have value. They are micro, tiny and fun to operate but, powerful in terms of delivering your message and purpose one can expect from a single page site.

Mini sites can be used as the landing pages or squeeze pages by linking them from your main product webpage. They can also be used to run seasonal specials or to promote a side product away from the main product on your site. Currently, I am using several themed mini sites as free product promotional sites and they are also great to use them for product presentation pages on auction sites and classified sites.

If you can a new product or service you would like to test, mini sites are a great way to test a new product without 100% attaching in to your main site. You can also use them for a side product when changing a big site requires big coding changes. Sometimes I see them on big hotel sites to offer wifi on the side. This way, the new service doesn't take away from the main business of selling you a room.

Mini sites are great for affiliate programs and other niche market product sites. Mini sites are also useful to determine how popular a new product is to your market niche, based on the number of hits the mini site receives. It is very fast and simple to make changes to the content on the mini site to improve the conversion rate on the page. You can set up two pages and easily A/B test the landing to see which one works better. Easy to make changes to a mini sites single page layout and retest again. Google Adwords has built in A/B testing tools to make conversion testing on mini pages very simple and you can have feedback within hours instead of days like normal searches.

Mini sites do not require the expense of outsourcing great web design by a professional web developer. With the wide range and many free templates on the market, the average webmaster with a little Photoshop skills can create a great looking website within a few minutes. I made one on my laptop sitting in a taxi cab once coming back from the airport. I had the whole site finished in about 30 minutes and was able to upload from a free wifi connection signal the laptop was picking up. The best part about it was the site was a free download load and made a great landing page that enjoys several visitors every day.

If you would like to have some free templates to design your own, feel free to download them from our website. The best part about them is they are free for all to use and they are great looking templates.
