The Silver City your customers live in

Ever since 1879, Silver City has accumulated more than a century of local history. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names have recognition, and the new ones have to explain themselves more clearly. Put the year the business started and the names of the people behind it on the About page; a real photo of the owner does more than any slogan.

• 7 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Iowa rules as any other.

• Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
