Website Solutions for Hazen Businesses
Hazen serves businesses across Mercer County and the surrounding area. I've worked with operations there when they needed practical help: fixing slow websites, solving hosting problems, or building something functional when previous attempts didn't work out.
Most of these businesses are straightforward operations that need websites to work reliably without becoming ongoing projects. They're not looking for elaborate designs, just professional sites that represent their business well.
Common Website Issues
Website problems usually build up gradually. Slow loading times as features accumulate. Forms that stop working after updates. Navigation that confuses visitors. These issues drive customers away even when the site technically functions.
When accumulated problems reach a certain point, rebuilding with clean code makes more sense than patching. You get better performance and fewer ongoing issues.
Hosting That Works
Good hosting should be simple: fast loading, consistent uptime, automated backups, and problems get fixed when they occur. I've helped businesses move to better hosting when their existing arrangements weren't working well.
When I host sites I built, problem-solving is included in the service. No confusion about who handles what.
Matching Technology to Needs
For most small businesses, semi-static sites work better than WordPress. Faster, more reliable, less maintenance required. You still get modern design and all the features you need. WordPress makes sense for specific functionality like e-commerce, but not every project needs that complexity.
Email Configuration
Email reliability depends on proper DNS setup. SPF and DKIM records need to be configured correctly, but they're often missing or wrong. When I handle hosting, proper email configuration is part of the process.
Regional Support
I've worked with businesses across North Dakota for over twenty years. Most are smaller operations that need websites and hosting to function reliably without ongoing headaches. If you're in Hazen and that describes what you need, I can help.
