I’m launching a solo construction business and debating how to build a website for my business. Some people recommend pay monthly web design so you don’t deal with tech, while others say just use web building sites free and upgrade later.

My concern is credibility and getting found locally. If I start with a basic DIY site, is that enough to bring in early leads, or does a professionally built site actually make a noticeable difference?

Would love to hear real experiences, not sales pitches
