Omaha weather and a seasonal business
Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Carmi, 14 miles away, put the July average high at 88°F and the January average low at 21°F. About 48 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. About 38 days a year hit 90°F or more. Cold winters bring heating calls, snow plowing and winter car trouble, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. A website that changes with the season help: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, requested by email at no extra charge.

Small business website questions from Omaha
Can I show customers in Ridgway that I cover their area?
Yes. List Ridgway, New Haven, Eldorado or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Can the website be an online store?
Yes. The plan can be an online store with a catalog, shopping cart and online payment, for the same $89 a month. Collecting sales tax is your responsibility: Illinois’ state rate is 6.2%, and local taxes may apply.
Can the website say I serve the whole of Gallatin County?
Yes. The plan is the same anywhere in Illinois, and the website can name every town in Gallatin County you cover.
