A web designer’s view of Stella’s businesses

Richardson County has, among its employer businesses:

• Insurance agencies: 8. Their website should show a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 5. Their website should show maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Full-service restaurants: 8. Their website should show the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

Across Richardson County, County Business Patterns counted 250 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 595 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Richardson County leans toward nondurable goods wholesalers (20 establishments, about six times the national share). In that business, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, and the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. Next on the list: trucking companies, 17 of them, at 3.3 times the national share. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
