Web design in Sower Carr: frequent questions
Sower Carr is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Wyre search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
What if I need to change something later?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
Which platform do you use?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and maintained by us: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Will customers in Hambleton, Wyre and Stalmine see that I serve them?
Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Hambleton, Wyre and Stalmine included, with the contact form one tap away.
Do I pay anything to get started?
