Before you sign up: questions from Baskin
Can I show customers in Gilbert that I cover their area?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Gilbert, Mangham, Wisner and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
Is a website worth it for a business in a village of 205 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Franklin Parish counts 1,618 nonemployer businesses and 408 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Baskin is the point of the website.

Can my hours and prices change with the season?
Yes. Send the new hours, prices or seasonal services by email; content changes are part of the $89 monthly fee.
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.
