Designing a website around Stella’s customers

Newton County had 62,263 residents in 2025 and 20 incorporated municipalities. Census estimates for a town this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: households have a median income of $66,301, and half the residents are older than 40.2. Broadband reaches 88.0% of homes, and 24.1% of households are online only through a phone plan. 76.6% of households own their home.

A web designer’s view of Stella’s businesses

Newton County has, among its employer businesses:

  • Hotels and motels (17): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
  • Local trucking companies (13): the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
  • Site preparation contractors (13): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
  • Used car dealers (8): your inventory photos, financing information you are allowed to share and a contact form.

In Newton County, the Census counted 1,251 businesses with employees and 4,340 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Retail trade accounts for 15.6% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of health care and social assistance (12.8%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (11.4%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
