Website design and hosting for Eastern North Carolina service businesses

Eastern North Carolina is 41 counties spread across the Coastal Plain, and a business working across them is usually working a very different set of towns from a business working one town. We build and maintain websites for regional service businesses so that the coverage reads as deliberate rather than accidental.

What Eastern North Carolina actually covers

Eastern North Carolina is the eastern tier of North Carolina and is, geographically, the state’s Coastal Plain. It is made up of the 41 most eastern counties, with subregions the Sandhills, the Lower Cape Fear around Wilmington, the Crystal Coast, the Inner Banks and the Outer Banks.

Fayetteville is the largest city in the region, followed by Wilmington and then Greenville, which sits close to the geographic centre of it. The state’s first capital, New Bern, is here too, along with Jacksonville and Rocky Mount.

A regional business does not need a page for every county. It needs one page that names the towns it covers and the jobs it takes there. The phrase we cover eastern North Carolina on its own tells a customer in Washington or Kinston nothing.

A regional licence and a regional economy

The State Legislature created seven regional economic development organisations in 1993, and three serve eastern North Carolina: the Northeast North Carolina Commission across sixteen counties, North Carolina East Alliance across thirteen counties around the Global TransPark, and North Carolina’s Southeast Commission across eleven.

Licensing in the state is not regional, but it is uniform in a way a regional business can rely on. Plumbing, heating, fuel gas piping and fire sprinkler work is licensed by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, created by the General Assembly in 1931. One number, one board, and it applies wherever in North Carolina the job is done.

Coastal Plain weather is part of the job description

The National Weather Service publishes a coastal flood climatology for eastern North Carolina, because coastal flooding and storm surge are a recurring fact of life along the shoreline and the estuaries.

A roofing contractor loses working days to a storm; a tree and grounds business gains them. A company carrying storm and flood work has a different season from one that does not, and publishing how you respond to a named storm is more credible than a general promise to be responsive.

A customer in Kinston, the Lenoir County seat, or in New Bern, the Craven County seat at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers, is not choosing between two companies on the same street. They are comparing information.

What the managed website covers

• A site organised around your services, your coverage and your branding.
• Managed hosting with SSL and the ongoing technical maintenance behind it.
• Enquiry and quote forms so a customer can reach you without a phone call.
• A monthly allowance for the updates and photographs your work produces.
• Domain connection help is included, and the domain stays in your name.

How many pages and how many updates are included depends on the plan. Booking tools, ecommerce and major redesigns are scoped separately for an eastern North Carolina site.
