Questions from Wilmot business owners
Can the website be an online store?
Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; Arkansas’ state rate is 6.5%, and local taxes may apply.
Will someone from Aria visit my business in Wilmot?
No. Everything happens online and by email, from Curitiba, Brazil; you see the whole website on a temporary link before approving it.
Can I show customers in Hamburg that I cover their area?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Hamburg, Bonita, Portland and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 395 people?
Your market is bigger than the city: Ashley County has 1,091 nonemployer businesses and 329 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Wilmot find you.
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.
