A website in Modena: the region is not a location
Modena counts 184,153 residents in 2023, Parma 196,764 and Bologna 387,971. A page about Emilia-Romagna gets chosen by none of the three.
A website in Modena has to say Modena, not Emilia-Romagna. Cities of similar size share the same region, Bologna 387,971, Parma 196,764 and Modena 184,153 residents in 2023, and a page that talks about the region gets chosen by none of the three.
The three figures come from the same source, read on 1 November 2026, and share the same year: Parma is 12,611 residents ahead of Modena, Bologna more than double. They help you order the pages, not decide who wins: the phone decides that.

The right order for the pages
- Home: city, main service and one call to action.
- Two to four service pages, one per request.
- A province page, listing the towns covered and the travel rule.
- Only then a regional page, with content and proof different from the city page.
Why the region comes later
A regional page competes with the city pages of Bologna and Parma, which talk about one place and show the address, the references and the photos of that place. Matching them takes the same material for every city, not one text with three names in it. Until that material exists, the regional page weakens the home page: internal links split and no page becomes the strongest.

Contact Sections 03 from creative-tim/ui is the form with a dark panel of contact details: useful when the phone matters more than the form. FAQs List 01 from the same publisher is the accordion for the questions that arrive in the shop. Team 6 from Shadcraft Free is the grid of people with names and roles, the proof most regional pages lack. Licence «see source»: check the block page.
The limitation to state up front
The catalogue does not manage multiple locations: there is no routing per city, no multilingual support, no block that generates local pages from a list. You design the structure by hand, one page per city, and you maintain it. On WordPress the blocks stay a structural reference. Previews are free, the full block code sits in the Pro part.
Cost: the ranges are national
The published ranges are national: landing 400–1,200 euro, showcase site of 5–10 pages 1,500–4,000, company site of 15–40 pages 4,000–10,000, maintenance 300–1,200 a year. One more page costs little when the content already exists; it costs a lot when it has to be written from scratch for every city, at 40–120 euro a page.
For the full count read what a website costs, for the base how to choose a template, for visibility get the site indexed by Google. The platform comparison is in WordPress, Wix or React components. Nearby pages: Brescia and Lecce.
Frequently asked questions
Should the title say Modena or Emilia-Romagna?
Modena. The region in the title adds no place, it removes a position: people looking for a service start from the city they are in. Emilia-Romagna can go in the body and on the province page, once the city page exists.
How many pages does the province of Modena need?
One province page listing the towns you cover, plus the service pages. You do not need a page per town: without an address, references and photos from that town, they are identical pages with a swapped name, and they compete with each other.
Is a regional page worth anything?
It is worth something once you have content and proof for every city you name. Before that it weakens the home page, because it splits internal links across pages that cannot yet compete with the city pages of competitors.
What should the home page of a Modena company contain?
What you do, who you do it for and how to get in touch, with Modena in the title and the first paragraph. Then checkable local proof, such as an address, a VAT number and a reference with a name and a sector. The company story comes later.
What does a website cost in Modena?
The same national ranges: 400–1,200 euro for a landing page, 1,500–4,000 for 5–10 pages, 4,000–10,000 for 15–40 pages, maintenance 300–1,200 a year. The quote moves with functions and content, not with the municipality.
