Questions from Matewan business owners
Will someone from Aria visit my business in Matewan?
No. Aria is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and works with every client online: material, change requests and questions go by email, and you review the website on a temporary link before it goes live.
My business is in Matewan, but I also work in Gilbert. Can the website show that?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Gilbert, Delbarton, Williamson or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Is a website worth it for a business in a town of 370 people?
Your market is bigger than the town: Mingo County has 869 nonemployer businesses and 326 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Matewan find you.
I already have a domain. Can I keep it?
The domain is part of the plan; if you already have one, we use yours.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
