What kind of businesses Kimball has
McDowell County has, among its employer businesses:
- Pharmacies, 10 in the count. What works online: hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
- Grocery stores, 6 in the count. What works online: hours, weekly specials and departments.
- Auto repair shops, 5 in the count. What works online: the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.

In McDowell County, the Census counted 213 businesses with employees and 438 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, McDowell County leans toward trucking companies (23 establishments, about five times the national share). In that business, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Kimball typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Your questions, answered for Kimball
Will someone from Aria visit my business in Kimball?
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 Kimball, but I also work in Keystone. Can the website show that?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Keystone and Anawalt included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
With 243 people in Kimball, is a website worth the money?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: McDowell County counts 438 nonemployer businesses and 213 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Kimball is the point of the website.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes. The plan can be an online store with a catalog, shopping cart and online payment, for the same $89 a month. Collecting sales tax is your responsibility: West Virginia’s state rate is 6%, and local taxes may apply.
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.
