By the 1991-2020 normals of the Bogalusa weather station (13 miles from Angie), July highs average 92°F and January lows average 39°F. About 64 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 28 times a year. Wet seasons mean roof leaks and water damage, and customers search right after the storm. Put your seasonal services on their own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.

2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.
