Which Lake Alfred businesses need a small business website
The Census counted 134 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 33850, which includes Lake Alfred and its surroundings. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:
- Remodeling contractors: 6. Their website should show a gallery of past remodels, a clear list of what you do and don’t take on, and a form that sends estimate requests to your inbox.
- Beer, wine and liquor stores: 3. Their website should show store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
- Auto repair shops: 3. Their website should show the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
- Insurance agencies: 3. Their website should show the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
In Polk County, the Census counted 13,992 businesses with employees and 77,602 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most.

Among Lake Alfred residents who work, the largest fields are construction (13.3%) and arts, entertainment, recreation, lodging and food service (10.8%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
