What Utica business owners ask us
Will people in Mooresville and Breckenridge see that I work there too?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Mooresville, Breckenridge, Ludlow and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
Utica is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than the village: Livingston County has 1,101 nonemployer businesses and 391 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Utica find you.
Can I sell online from Utica?
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 (Missouri’s state rate is 4.2%, and local taxes may apply).
I already have a domain. Can I keep it?
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.
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.
