Questions from Elkton business owners
With 776 people in Elkton, is a website worth the money?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Huron County counts 2,395 nonemployer businesses and 933 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Elkton is the point of the website.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes. Every page adapts to small screens, which matters in Elkton: 17.8% of households are online only through a phone plan.
Can I tell customers in Bad Axe that I serve their town?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Gagetown, Bad Axe, Caseville or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
What about my domain name?
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.
