Small business website questions from Wanda
My business is in Wanda, but I also work in Sanborn. Can the website show that?
Yes. A service area page can name each town you cover, such as Sanborn, Revere and Wabasso.
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 75 people?
Your market is bigger than the city: Redwood County has 1,101 nonemployer businesses and 509 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Wanda find you.
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 (Minnesota’s state rate is 6.9%, and local taxes may apply).
How long until my website is ready?

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.
