Small business website advice, Maysville edition

Maysville dates from 1845, so it has more than a century and a half 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. Write the year you opened and the names of the people behind it on the About page; a real photo of the owner does more than any slogan.
