Still Running Your Business Without a Website?
If so, you’re not the only one — and no, you’re not “behind.” You’ve probably been focused on what actually matters: your customers, your team, and keeping the business moving.
But if you’re still relying on Instagram DMs, Google Forms, or referrals as your entire online presence, you’re missing out on visibility, leads, and credibility. People are Googling “Philly [your service]” and not finding you.
The good news? Getting a website doesn’t have to be overwhelming, expensive, or technical.
Let’s talk through what you actually need – no unnecessary add ons to get online quickly.
Why Even a Simple Website Matters (Especially for Local Businesses)
You don’t need a custom 10-page website. You just need a clean, clear, mobile-friendly site that does a few important things:
- Shows people who you are and what you do
- Makes it easy to contact or book you
- Helps you show up on Google when people search locally
- Gives you credibility (yes, people really do judge your biz by your website)
If you’re a small business owner in Philly – whether you have your own bakery, hair salon, contractor business, or creative service – having a site makes a big difference.
What You Actually Need to Launch a Website
Here’s what we recommend for small businesses just getting started:
- Visitors need to pinch and zoom to read text or see images clearly.
- Buttons and links are difficult to tap on a touchscreen.
- Pages take too long to load on mobile.
A Simple Three-Page Site
No fluff. Just the essentials:
- Home
- Services or Products
- Contact / Booking info
- (Optional: About or FAQ)
Clear Messaging
If you’re not sure what to say, just explain what you offer and who it’s for. We’ll help write it – based on what makes your business valuable, trustworthy, and different.
Mobile-Friendly Design
Most of your visitors are on their phones. Your site needs to look good and load fast on all devices.

We handle all the technical setup. This includes DNS, domain, hosting, and SSL.
