Small business website advice, Hoxie edition
Sheridan County counts 264 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners, next to 104 with employees. Solo owners compete on trust with bigger firms, and a professional website closes much of that gap. Your own domain and a business email make a one-person business look established, and both are included in the plan.
