Small business website questions from Midland
Do you have an office in Midland?
No visits: Aria works remotely from Curitiba, Brazil. You send your logo, photos and texts by email, and approve the website on a temporary link.
Can I tell customers in Draper that I serve their town?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Belvidere, Draper, Murdo or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
With 105 people in Midland, is a website worth the money?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Haakon County counts 246 nonemployer businesses and 82 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Midland 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.
