Web design in Park City: reading the local market

Just 8.2 miles from Wichita, Park City is part of the Wichita orbit: the average trip to work takes 20.8 minutes. Being close to Wichita means your competitors include businesses across the metro area; the local advantage is showing up on time. Make it obvious you are in Park City and list the neighborhoods you cover; it is the edge you have over the big city. A plain, accurate page does more here than a clever one.

Park City dates from 1953, so it has more than half a century of local history behind it. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names have recognition, and the new ones have to explain themselves more clearly. New in town? Then the website has to do what word of mouth does for the older names: explain exactly what you do and for whom. Most of this is written once and kept current, which is precisely what the monthly changes by email are for.
