A web designer’s view of Marvin’s businesses

The Census counted 1,288 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 28173, which includes Marvin and its surroundings. Among them:

• Real estate offices, 94 in the count. What works online: a page about each area you cover and an easy way for buyers and sellers to reach the right agent.
• Custom home builders, 32 in the count. What works online: a portfolio page per home, the steps of working with you and a contact form for buyers who are still comparing builders.
• Pet grooming and boarding businesses, 11 in the count. What works online: services and prices you choose to publish, photos of happy clients and a form to ask for a spot.
• CPA firms, 16 in the count. What works online: tax and bookkeeping services on separate pages and the documents clients should bring.
• Coffee shops and snack bars, 20 in the count. What works online: the menu, hours and photos of the place, so people find you before they walk in.

Union County as a whole had 5,732 employer establishments in 2023 and another 24,648 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 652 specialty trade contractors operate in Union County, 1.8 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks; the website should give customers one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. Marvin’s working residents are concentrated in finance, insurance and real estate (20.6%) and professional, management and administrative services (20.5%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

A year of weather in Marvin

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Monroe Airport, 11 miles away, put the July average high at 90°F and the January average low at 32°F. Precipitation totals about 38 inches a year, with August the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 57 times a year. Mild weather keeps outdoor work going most of the year: patios, yards and outdoor events stay busy for months. A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

Small business website, start to finish

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. There is no Aria office in Marvin, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

1. The sign-up at cadastro.ariaserv.com/en takes about 5 minutes; your logo and photos go by email.
2. Review the website on a temporary link, ready within 5 business days, and request any changes.
