Make sure you screenshot everything and save all communications. Try putting delivery and read receipts on all emails so they can't claim they didn't receive/read them. Make any calls to anyone whose number you have. If this was through a recruiter, contact the recruiter. Yes, the recruiter technically represents the company and not you, but at least you can then make another claim at communication. If you still can't get a response, certified mail or something like that to the business's registered agent address (which they are required to have by law). Then they cannot claim they did not receive communication and will almost certainly be forced to respond in some fashion, even if it is a formal denial.
I also assume you have proof that they either requested this of you or that you have all the raw files used for developing the site that a mere visitor to the site wouldn't have, yes? If so, register that with the copyright office immediately so they cannot do so.
They will probably claim a "misunderstanding" to which you can request that they either produce the paper which you signed granting them the rights to your work (which I assume you didn't sign anything) or the financial record showing that they paid you for it (which they obviously did not do).
The big question is this - did you do this as a project at home as part of the interview? I assume you did since I doubt you would be expected to do it right there on the spot, but I could be wrong. If it was on their computer systems, it becomes much more difficult to lay claim since they own everything done on their computer systems. I assume this was done on your free time at home to go along with a fact to face interview and you submitted the finished product before the in-person interview.
