A web designer’s view of Kinder’s businesses

The Census counted 105 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 70648, which includes Kinder and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Hotels and motels (6): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Pharmacies (3): hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
• Full-service restaurants (6): the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
• Site preparation contractors (3): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.

Allen Parish as a whole had 310 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,222 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. One sector stands out in Allen Parish: banks and lenders, with 20 establishments and three times the national share. What their websites need: branch hours, services and the required disclosures. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Louisiana and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• A trade name is registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State. A trade name identifies the business itself, which is different from a DBA used by an already registered entity. La. R.S. 51:211 et seq.
