No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website.

What kind of businesses Elmo has

Nodaway County has, among its employer businesses:

  • Site preparation contractors (6): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
  • Insurance agencies (15): the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
  • Auto repair shops (8): the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
  • Local trucking companies (5): the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
  • Veterinary clinics (6): wellness visits, surgery and dental care on separate pages and a contact form for new clients.
  • Quick-service restaurants (12): today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

County-wide, Nodaway County counts 491 businesses with employees and 1,589 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Nodaway County has four times the national share of building material and garden stores: 17 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, contractors and homeowners check stock and hours, so the website should show departments, brands, delivery options and hours by season. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
