I own a couple businesses, and one which is a niche construction business is taking off. As in it is growing so fast I may need to actually hire full time employees… which I also dread.
Yesterday, I received two phone calls and both asked if I had a website. To keep costs down, I have not had a website built, but I guess that needs to change. On the other businesses, the websites are built but no one looks at them from the monthly emails I get on who has been to my site. Now, people are looking for this business.
For those who understand, I’m in that growing stage where I need to spend money to grow, but I don’t want to risk the spending in case something may happen. Websites, needing to upgrade my business apps, ordering large amounts of supplies and employees.
I guess I’m just taken aback by how odd people have been due to a lack of websites when I have never had anyone really look before. Which now I’m up at the witching hour doing estimates, invoices, and now checking on at least a static website maker.
I have heard of GitHub, but does anyone recommend any other static website making types? Any help would be appreciated.

Just DM’d you for some guidance
Yes, they do. Having a website is a clear indication that you are legit. However, just having a website isn’t enough. You can utilize that website in all sorts of ways to incentivize a potential customer- and that is exactly what you should do. I can guarantee you that if you have a well thought out website, you will make the money back and much more in a short time.
Feel free to approach me if you want a website for yourself and additionally if you need SEO and content writing services.

Hi I work in tech. Use Wix or Squarespace and you’ll be paying <20 USD per month. It’ll handle everything you need and take you less than a day to setup. Github is more for advanced users, you don’t need it.
If you are repelling the thought of having a website because you think it might cost you in the ranges of 1000s of dollars, I’d recommend start looking out and you may find a option with less budget range.
Not to self promote but I personally build landing pages for $500 in case someone ever needs the service and have less budget allocated for their landing page website.
Squarespace or Wix. It’s quick and easy to set up a website on these platforms. Wix you can set up for free, if you don’t mind their advertising on your website.
A website will make your business look more professional and established. What were your prospective customers looking for when they asked about a website? This is important info to take into consideration.
Hey there. We’re a design team in Toronto, Canada specializing in construction websites. Our websites range from $275 to $325 as a one time build cost. Takes us 3 days to complete. Sent you a DM if you’re interested let me know!
I have a website, it’s where a majority of the sales for my company come from.
I can show you the ropes if you’d like.
That’s one of the first things they do when they hear about a business.
Social proof is what your customers are after. That can take many forms - a Google Maps listing, Trust Pilot reviews, TikTok likes, or even, a website.
All the best with your businesses! Sounds like you’re doing a great job.
Website can be really cheap so don’t worry too much about it. Growing is part of the fun and nothing will feel as great as seeing your workers highly motivated because you can pay them a great wage and create a nice environment for them to thrive in.
