Web Design in Farmington Hills, Michigan

Small business website advice, Farmington Hills edition

Remote work is common in Farmington Hills: 22.8% of employed residents work from home. People working from home notice local businesses during the day and look you up between meetings. Daytime appointments, clear prices and an email that gets answered are what this audience looks for; explain how scheduling works. Get those few things right and the rest of the website can stay simple.

With Interstate 96, Interstate 275 and Interstate 696 crossing the city limits, Farmington Hills sees traffic from far beyond Oakland County. Highway traffic brings freight: trucking, repair, towing and truck services work for customers from far away. One screen with services, hours and location is all a driver has time for.

Farmington Hills’ working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (19.9%) and manufacturing (18.8%). A city’s work pattern says when customers have time to look you up, and what they expect to find. If you sell to other businesses, a page for them (capabilities, service area, how to request a quote) deserves its own spot next to the page for households.
