Ithaca web design FAQ
With 156 people in Ithaca, is a website worth the money?
Your market is bigger than the village: Saunders County has 2,119 nonemployer businesses and 604 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Ithaca find you.
Can the website mention Memphis, Yutan and the other towns I cover?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Memphis, Yutan, Mead or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Can I change the website when the season changes?
Yes. Send the new hours, prices or seasonal services by email; content changes are part of the $89 monthly fee.
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.
