Barton weather and a seasonal business
Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Savage Rvr Dam, 6.7 miles away, put the July average high at 81°F and the January average low at 20°F. Precipitation totals about 41 inches a year, with June the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 130 times a year. Winter reshuffles demand: plowing and heating in winter, yard work and construction once it thaws. Put your seasonal services on their own page, so customers find them when they need them.

In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; the website should give customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.

What Barton business owners ask us
Can the website mention Lonaconing, Piedmont and the other towns I cover?
Yes. List Lonaconing, Piedmont, Westernport or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Do we need to have meetings?
No. Everything happens online and by email, from Curitiba, Brazil; you see the whole website on a temporary link before approving it.
Can I sell online from Barton?
Yes. An online store with catalog, cart and online payment costs the same $89 a month as a regular website; sales tax is yours to collect (Maryland’s state rate is 6%).
Do I need to buy a domain first?
If you have one, we use it. If you don’t, the domain is part of the plan: we register it and take care of the renewal.
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.
