Questions we hear about websites in Cogswell
My business is in Cogswell, but I also work in Rutland. Can the website show that?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Rutland, Oakes, Gwinner and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
With 69 people in Cogswell, is a website worth the money?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Sargent County counts 251 nonemployer businesses and 122 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Cogswell is the point of the website.

Yes. The plan is the same anywhere in North Dakota, and the website can name every town in Sargent County you cover.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; North Dakota’s state rate is 5%, and local taxes may apply.

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.
