Ohio County as a whole had 1,320 employer establishments in 2023 and another 2,627 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Ohio County has 1.9 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 92 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
