• 24 remodeling contractors: before-and-after photos of finished kitchens and baths, the neighborhoods you work in and a quote request form.
• 8 gyms and fitness studios: class schedules, membership options and a form for a first visit.

• 9 child care centers: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.

Westchester County as a whole had 31,174 employer establishments in 2023 and another 111,711 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all.

For them, clients choose by services, prices and photos, and the website should show services and prices, photos of real work, hours and location. The county also has a strong cluster of homebuilders and building contractors (1,374 establishments, 1.4 times the national share).
