Encinal up close: notes for a small business website
Mining, oil and gas account for 10.1% of the employer establishments in La Salle County, far more than the national share. Crews from out of town look for services from a phone, on short notice. Safety credentials and certifications should be on the page, in writing.
What kind of businesses Encinal has
La Salle County has, among its employer businesses:
- Hotels and motels, 18 in the count. What works online: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
- Quick-service restaurants, 9 in the count. What works online: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
County-wide, La Salle County counts 149 businesses with employees and 564 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). La Salle County has far more than the national share of hotels, inns and other lodging: 21 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, so the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. The jobs Encinal residents hold are mostly in public administration (3.7%) and construction (1.4%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Encinal.

Questions we hear about websites in Encinal
Can I show customers in Laredo that I cover their area?
Yes. List Laredo, Asherton, Cotulla or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 543 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: La Salle County counts 564 nonemployer businesses and 149 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Encinal is the point of the website.
Do you have an office in Encinal?
No. Everything happens online and by email, from Curitiba, Brazil; you see the whole website on a temporary link before approving it.
Can the website show which exit to take from Interstate 35?
Yes. The contact page can carry directions from Interstate 35, your exit and a map with your address; send the details by email.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
