Web design in Mifflin: reading the local market

Mifflin dates from 1849, which gives it 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 one job at a time. New in town? Then the website has to do what years of reputation does for the older names: show the work, the people and the prices.
