Mercer Area Chamber of Commerce
Website Services
The Chamber’s website has recently been revised (www.mercerareachamber.com) and a new membership directory is in place, with businesses listed by type and alphabetically. Website and e-mail addresses have been listed and linked in the directory, if that information was available. If you have a website that is not listed, or the one listed is incorrect, please submit a change request. Brief descriptions of the businesses were taken from current information available on the web. Please check your listing for errors or omissions. You may submit a description (limit is approximately 50 words) or modify the existing one. If you are listed in the wrong category, or feel you should be listed under more than one category, please request a change. Submit corrections to the Chamber office (mercerchamber@zoominternet.net - 724-662-4185) or to the Webmaster (ezsites@zoominternet.net.)
For members who currently have a website: You can transfer your site into the Mercer Chamber’s account if you would like the Chamber Webmaster to maintain it for you. The fee for a transfer is $129.00, which includes domain transfer/registration with Homestead and a one-time $5.00 set-up fee. This fee also covers one year of maintenance. After one year, the annual $75.00 maintenance fee will be charged.
For members without a website, the following services are available: Website building services at a cost of $75.00 per page for pages 1-10 and $65.00 per page for pages 11-20. Sites will be built by the Chamber Webmaster through the already established Homestead account. Pages may be added at any time at the per-page rate listed above.
