What Carrabelle business owners ask us
I work in Carrabelle and nearby towns. Can the website say that?
Yes. A service area page can name each town you cover, such as Port St. Joe, Apalachicola and Sopchoppy.
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 2,572 people?
Your market is bigger than the city: Franklin County has 1,304 nonemployer businesses and 324 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Carrabelle find you.
I already have a domain. Can I keep it?
Yes. If your business already owns a domain, we point it to the new website; if not, we register one for you and renew it while you are a client.
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.
