What a web designer should know about New Pekin
New Pekin has been around since 1883; that is more than a century of local history. In a place with that much history, many customers have used the same plumber, accountant or bakery for years, and a newer business has to earn trust one job at a time. A short history of the business says more than any tagline.
Local competition in New Pekin
The Census counted 47 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 47165, which includes New Pekin and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:
- Finish carpentry contractors (3): close-up photos of cabinets, trim and built-ins, and a simple form to describe the job.
County-wide, Washington County counts 449 businesses with employees and 1,935 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Washington County leans toward specialty trade contractors (45 establishments, 1.6 times the national share). For them, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, and the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. New Pekin’s working residents are concentrated in manufacturing (16.5%) and construction (8.2%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in New Pekin.

Questions from New Pekin business owners
With 1,378 people in New Pekin, is a website worth the money?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Washington County counts 1,935 nonemployer businesses and 449 with employees (2023). Being findable outside New Pekin is the point of the website.
Can I tell customers in Palmyra that I serve their town?
Yes. A service area page can name each town you cover, such as Greenville, Palmyra and Borden.
What about my domain name?
If you have one, we use it. If you don’t, the domain is part of the plan: we register it and take care of the renewal.

No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
