Silverton, CO: the local picture for your website
Silverton grew from 629 to 721 residents between 2020 and 2025, a 14.6% increase. New residents arrive with no habits about where to shop: no dentist, no mechanic, no pizza place yet. They search, and they choose from what they find. A newcomer has never heard of you, so the homepage should say right away what you do, where, and how to reach you.

What Colorado asks of a business with a website
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Silverton businesses:

Questions from Silverton business owners
Can I show customers in Ophir that I cover their area?
Yes. List Ophir, Telluride, Rico or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Can I change the website when the season changes?
Yes. Send the new hours, prices or seasonal services by email; content changes are part of the $89 monthly fee.
Silverton is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: San Juan County counts 159 nonemployer businesses and 79 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Silverton is the point of the website.
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.
