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.

    Not every kind of business needs a website but if you’re doing construction you really need to at least have a gallery of your work up so people can see your skill level and the kind of projects you specialize in. That is the first thing people looking for a contractor are going to look for, and the second will be your reviews on Google and other review sites.
