Arapahoe web design FAQ
Can I tell customers in Oriental that I serve their town?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Grantsboro and Oriental included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Can the website be an online store?
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 (North Carolina’s state rate is 4.8%, and local taxes may apply).
Is a website worth it for a business in a town of 432 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Pamlico County counts 1,102 nonemployer businesses and 261 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Arapahoe is the point of the website.
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.
