What Dresden business owners ask us
Does a small business in Dresden need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Decatur County counts 229 nonemployer businesses and 98 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Dresden is the point of the website.
My business is in Dresden, but I also work in Hoxie. Can the website show that?
Yes. List Hoxie, Jennings, Clayton or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Do you work with businesses outside Dresden?
Yes. A service area page can cover every part of Decatur County you serve.
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.
