Do I need a website?
Short answer
Yes. A simple, fast, mobile one. Even one page is better than none. It's where every lead does their gut check.
What it actually needs
Who you are, what you do, where you serve, photos of real work, reviews, and how to reach you. A phone number tappable on mobile, above the fold. Nothing else is required.
What to skip
Sliders, stock photos, animated headers, three-page about sections. They slow the site down and don't sell. Boring and fast beats fancy and slow, every time.
