Websites for Decatur independents around the Square
Decatur's Square draws readers, artists and Wednesday market shoppers who like to buy from the person behind the counter. Your site should sound like that person, and we build it to carry your voice.
A Decatur website with the same voice as your shop
An owner around the Square may know regular customers by name. A site written in a corporate tone sounds like a stranger. We keep the copy plain and specific, the way you would explain a product to someone at the counter.
Each page ends with a clear way to reach you, whether that is a form, a number or a note about when you are open.
Writing pages takes time an owner may not have. We interview you on a call, draft the pages from your answers and you edit the draft until it sounds right to you.
The book festival weekend and the arts festival in May
The Decatur Book Festival is listed for October 2 and 3 this year, with a street fair on Saturday. The Arts Festival follows each May, and beer, wine and maker events fill other weekends.
A visitor who meets you at one of them looks you up afterward. We build the page that confirms who you are and sends each inquiry to the place where you follow up.
Wednesday afternoons on the church lawn
The farmers market runs Wednesday from four to seven in the afternoon, rain or shine. Vendors there reach commuters on the way home, and neighbors who plan dinner from what they find.
We plan a short page for vendors and nearby shops that says what you bring and when. One edit keeps the season current.
Students and faculty from Agnes Scott and the seminary
Agnes Scott College, Georgia State's Perimeter College and Columbia Theological Seminary sit in or near town. Their people are regular customers for food, books, repair and tutoring.
We add a page for that audience if they matter to you, and tracking shows whether they use it.
Questions from Decatur owners
Do I need a site if the Square already sends me walk-in customers?
Walk-in customers still check hours and what you carry before they come. A site that answers those questions saves you phone calls. Tracking shows which questions bring people in.
Can a small shop afford to keep a site current?
We build it so a seasonal change takes a few minutes. The pages most worth updating are your hours and any event you take part in. We decide with you which ones those are.
My business is a studio, not a store. Does the Square still matter?
It matters as a landmark. We still center your pages on what you do and how to reach you, and we use the Square when it helps a visitor find you.
