A web designer’s view of Fort Calhoun’s businesses

Fort Calhoun shares ZIP code 68023 with the surrounding area, where 95 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• Finish carpentry contractors (4): close-up photos of cabinets, trim and built-ins, and a simple form to describe the job.
• Auto repair shops (4): the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.

In Washington County, the Census counted 666 businesses with employees and 1,718 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 heavy and civil construction firms (16 establishments, about five times the national share). For them, public agencies and developers check qualifications first, and the website should show project types, equipment, bonding and licensing information and a contact for bid invitations. Fort Calhoun’s working residents are concentrated in manufacturing (11.9%) and construction (11.3%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
