What Guntown business owners ask us
Can I tell customers in Saltillo that I serve their town?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Sherman, Saltillo, Marietta or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Can the website be an online store?
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 (Mississippi’s state rate is 7%, and local taxes may apply).
Can the website say I serve the whole of Lee County?
Yes. The plan is the same anywhere in Mississippi, and the website can name every town in Lee County you cover.
With 2,616 people in Guntown, is a website worth the money?
