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.

    For the initial website.

    Then you need security, backups, content updates, improvements, etc.

    It’s an option, but I’d look at a website builder too.

      Website builders are like using a PowerPoint template. The good ones that aren’t simple dead-ends will lock you in and charge you more than a freelancer.
