Fountain Lake by the numbers

Which Fountain Lake businesses need a small business website

The Census counted 975 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 71901, which includes Fountain Lake and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Gift and souvenir shops: 10. Their website should show what you carry, store hours and an online store for the same monthly fee.
• Law offices: 37. Their website should show plain-language pages about the cases you take, office location and a confidential contact form.
• Bed-and-breakfasts: 3. Their website should show the rooms, the house rules and a contact form for availability questions.
• Physical, occupational and speech therapy practices: 14. Their website should show the conditions you treat, the therapists, the insurance you accept and a referral or contact form.
• Residential property managers: 11. Their website should show the services for owners, the areas you manage and a contact form for owners and tenants.

Garland County as a whole had 2,953 employer establishments in 2023 and another 8,796 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are retail trade (15.7%), health care and social assistance (14.3%) and construction (11.4%). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Fountain Lake typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

What Arkansas asks of a business with a website

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
