In Washington County, the Census counted 16,355 businesses with employees and 45,031 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Washington County leans toward nursing and residential care facilities (439 establishments, 2.4 times the national share). In that business, families research care for a relative, and the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. The county also has a strong cluster of breweries, wineries and distilleries (46 establishments, twice the national share). Among King City residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (22.9%) and professional, management and administrative services (14.1%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
