Northglenn up close: notes for a small business website

Northglenn is on Interstate 25. Travelers search from the road, want an answer in seconds and will not call to ask whether you are open. Say which exit and how to get there from the highway on the contact page, with hours that are always current. That is the work a small business website does well: saying the obvious things clearly.

Northglenn dates from 1969, which gives it more than half a century of local history behind it. Customers in an older city often ask around first, and the website is where that recommendation gets checked. Put the year the business started and the names of the people behind it on the About page; a photo of the actual storefront or crew does more than any slogan. Most of this is a matter of saying it on the page, which is exactly what the monthly changes by email are for.

Northglenn’s working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (19.0%) and professional, management and administrative services (13.0%). A city’s work pattern tells you when customers have time to look you up, and what they expect to find. Put your hours where nobody has to look for them, and say which days you are open late if you do. With those details in place, the rest of the site can stay simple.
