A web designer’s view of Cool Valley’s businesses

Cool Valley shares ZIP code 63121 with the surrounding area, where 315 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• Home health care agencies: 20. Their website should show the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.
• Child care centers: 10. Their website should show ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.
• Cleaning services: 6. Their website should show what is included in each type of cleaning, the towns you serve and a contact form.
• Tax preparation offices: 3. Their website should show your services, what documents to bring, seasonal hours and a contact form.
• Quick-service restaurants: 14. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

In St. Louis County, the Census counted 29,717 businesses with employees and 88,357 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. One sector stands out in St. Louis County: social assistance and child care providers, with 1,554 establishments and 2.2 times the national share. What works for them online: programs, eligibility, hours and how to apply or enroll. The county also has a strong cluster of insurance agencies (953 establishments, 1.6 times the national share). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
