Questions from Morgan City business owners
Morgan City is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Leflore County counts 1,839 nonemployer businesses and 653 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Morgan City is the point of the website.
My business is in Morgan City, but I also work in Moorhead. Can the website show that?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Moorhead and Sidon included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Do we need to have meetings?
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.
