PikeMoms.com is a free online website providing tons of valuable information and services. The owner, Lisa McAteer, says she created the site after growing frustrated when trying to locate reputable contractors to do work at her home. "When I first moved to Milford I quickly grew tired of business owners not returning my calls and not showing up for scheduled appointments. After bugging my neighbors for the names of good plumbers, electricians and great restaurants, I decided there had to be an easier way." The Milford woman now launches this central "cyber" meeting place for people in the area to share this valuable feedback with one another.

In the PikeMoms.com Rate & Review section visitors can rate businesses from 1-5 stars and leave comments about their experiences. Parents can find a babysitter for free and those who babysit can post their contact information at no charge. Job seekers can post their resumes for free and employers can post their openings for free. "During this challenging economy I thought it was important to give locals an opportunity to advertise themselves for free and also to be able to search out local business openings without the hassles that go along with many of the bigger job sites."
