Questions from Wellington business owners

Is a website worth it for a business in a village of 4,802 people?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Lorain County counts 21,949 nonemployer businesses and 5,664 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Wellington is the point of the website.

Can my website list the towns around Wellington that I serve?

Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Spencer, Kipton, LaGrange or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.

I already have a domain. Can I keep it?

If you have one, we use it. If you don’t, the domain is part of the plan: we register it and take care of the renewal.

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.
