"on my web site" "On site" tends to mean the actual location where a
company is working. For example, a construction company has an
office, but the actual work crew is on site, whereever they are
building their current project(s).

No good, too vague. Does that include Saturday or Sunday? I don't
know when you work. Weekdays means M-F. But if you ever use the
sentence above, change in work days TO "on work days".
But Steve's answer is better. It's not like you're printing business
cards or engraving a ring, where space is an issue. Adding 40 bytes
of text just takes up 40 bytes of storage (or maybe it takes up no
space if there is room in the current sector, and another sector on
the rare cases it puts you past the sector limit). But the load time
would be greater by only a millisecond.

It should probably be ET, Eastern Time, because his business will
probably go on daylight time when everyone else does. But I wonder if
people will know what ET means.
Maybe instead add "EDT when daylight time is in effect"
