In a city where most of your next customers moved here recently, your website is often their first impression of you — and they're comparing it with two or three others before they call.
new residents in one year — every one of them a stranger to your business, judging you by your website. [1]
Designing for people who've never heard of you
In an established town, a contractor's website mostly confirms a referral. In Port St. Lucie, it often replaces one. New residents arriving from other states don't know which companies have a good reputation, so they open three tabs and pick the one that looks most trustworthy, most local and easiest to contact.
That makes the first screen the most important part of a PSL contractor site: who you are, that you're licensed here, what people say about you, and a number they can tap.
