Sharon dates from 1896, and its 89 residents live in a city with more than a century of history. Web design in Sharon works best when it shows who is behind the business and what it has done. Aria does web design for Sharon businesses for $89 a month, with the domain, business email on that domain and hosting in the same plan, and you pay the first month only after approving the site.
No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website.

When Sharon customers need you: the seasons
Sharon weather, in normals: July highs around 79°F, January lows around -3°F, measured at Cooperstown, 15 miles away (1991-2020). About 22 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in July. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 188 times a year. Winter changes what people need: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, yard work and construction once it thaws. Plan the website around your busy season: send the changes by email a few weeks ahead.

What North Dakota asks of a business with a website
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same North Dakota rules as any other.
- A sole proprietor or other business using a ‘doing business as’ name registers a trade name with the Secretary of State through the FirstStop portal ($25). Registration gives exclusive rights to the name within North Dakota only and must be renewed every five years. Official source
- North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner

Does a small business in Sharon need a website?
Your customers come from all of Steele County, not only Sharon: the county has 57 businesses with employees and 162 without (2023). The website is what they find when they search.
Can my website list the towns around Sharon that I serve?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Finley and Aneta included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Can the website be an online store?
Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; North Dakota’s state rate is 5%, and local taxes may apply.
Can I update my menu or price list?
Send the new prices by email. Changes to text, photos and prices are part of the monthly fee.
