Affordable web design that starts with Bernice itself

The town of Bernice has been around since 1899; that is more than a century of local history. In a place with that much history, families tend to stay with the businesses they know, and a newer business has to earn trust the slow way. Just opened? Then the website has to do what word of mouth does for the older names: show the work, the people and the prices.
