Has others have mentioned having a Business website gives you a better online presence and setting up a Google business so that you have a footprint in Google where people can leave reviews also gives your business a more legitimate touch to it. Github pages can be used for hosting a website easily if you have the knowledge. If you want to build one yourself and don't want to have to pay a few hundred bucks you can use websites like squarespace which allow you to make a website using their drag and drop tools and plugins. It sounds like you may just need a fancy looking website for customers to get an idea of what kind of services you provide and your contact information if they need to call you so I would suggest hiring someone like myself to throw up a website for you on GitHub pages, possibly create a logo for you and a branding kit and update your social media apps so that there's some uniformity and consistency to them. I guess this may be a little self promotion but if you're looking for someone to do that for you I can help.

Give your customers what they want and if that’s a web presence then so be it. As we are all well aware of, the moment we stop listening to them, we may still be a business, but not one that’s growing.
Congrats on the need for hiring. Unnerving and it does suck but man… You’re growing and that’s just damn cool.
You got this
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.
A business website, branded email, and Google My Business profile should be the bare minimum to establish any sort of credibility.
If I was about to do business with a business using Gmail and no website, I'd have to wonder why...
Websites don't have to be expensive. Wix and Wordpress are popular. But it may be worth taking a class in SEO so you know how to make the most of your web presence.
No one is visiting your other websites because you aren’t promoting them.
For real though, for a construction business, you just need something basic so people feel good about working with you. It sends the message that you are reputable and professional. It’s all about trust.
My son needed a simple one page site for his liquidation business. I bought a domain for $12 and made a static one page site which I put on cloudflare pages for free. It is clean and uncluttered, and responsive. Your website does not need a fancy design.
If you’re business is growing fast and you don’t want employees, why try to grow it faster?
Who cares if some people call in and and don’t use you because you don’t have a website?
Yes. They're still popular. A lot of money is spent to get on top of search engines and advertising.
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.
Just DM'd you for some guidance
Just pay someone on fiverr to get it all done for u, if ur making money its a no brainer investment..
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.
A basic website is fairly inexpensive and will do much more for your business than other marketing channels. A simple well-written one-pager / landing page will surely do the job to start with.
I’m always a little taken aback when business owners say that they don’t have a website. Your website is your online real estate. You control what’s on it, the layout, the design, the copy, the lack of ads, etc. Moreover, if you keep adding quality content, you can build your brand and your authority in your niche or sector. You’re also not subject to changes in social media algorithms messing about with your visibility.
-website gives consumers the easiness when they come in contact with your business
-whatever information a consumer needs can be gotten with just a click when they visit your site, at least not everything requires sending emails
- website tells consumers the need to buy and also convinces them to buy without you doing much work
If your business is moving fast imagine what having a website will add
As a web developer, having a website for your business brings tons of benefit and if you ever need guidance, you should PM.
I may not look at your website, but if you don't have a website it's a red flag. I expect to be able to find you online. I may visit your website without reading through it, just to scroll up and down to visually confirm that your business exists.

You need one. My company exclusively sold to governments and most of the sales were direct with a contact, so we figured no need for the website because we don't need to sell to the public. However, all sorts of companies and people will be looking up your company for a number of reasons and it's better that the information on the web and on your domain comes from your content.
Hey, I have a free website maker if you like to take a look. It is in the early stages, but it is the best freemium out there. Take a look.
I always start by looking for a website if I'm interested in a product or service.
I'm sure you won't regret it if you create a website. It is crucial for establishing credibility, attracting new clients, and showcasing your services. It offers a platform to effectively communicate your offerings, build trust, and improve discoverability. A website can be a game-changer for your expanding business. As for the web design tools, you can consider Squarespace and Wix for easy-to-use static website builders beyond GitHub. Otherwise, you can always find a professional web developer.
