What makes Fairfield different, and what your website should do about it
The city of Fairfield has been around since 1818, with more than two centuries of history behind it. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names are known, and the new ones have to explain themselves more clearly. Write the year the business started and the names of the people behind it on the About page; a real photo of the owner beats any stock image.
