A small business website that fits Alma
Self-employment is strong in Alma: 17.2% of workers run their own business (Nebraska: 10.8%). Solo contractors compete on reputation with bigger firms, and a professional website closes much of that gap. Your own domain and a business email make a one-person business look established, and both are included in the plan.
