Your questions, answered for Ash Flat
Can my website list the towns around Ash Flat that I serve?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Cherokee Village, Highland, Horseshoe Bend or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 1,156 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Sharp County counts 1,320 nonemployer businesses and 342 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Ash Flat is the point of the website.
Do I need to buy a domain first?
The domain is part of the plan; if you already have one, we use yours.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes. An online store with catalog, cart and online payment costs the same $89 a month as a regular website; sales tax is yours to collect (Arkansas’ state rate is 6.5%, and local taxes may apply).
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.
