Across Windham County, County Business Patterns counted 1,657 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 5,336 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Windham County leans toward wood products manufacturers (17 establishments, about seven times the national share). For them, builders and dealers buy by spec, and the website should show products and species, sizes, delivery area and a quote request form. Next on the list: hotels, inns and other lodging, 55 of them, at four times the national share. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
