A web designer’s view of Collins’ businesses

From the 2023 county count for St. Clair County:

• Insurance agencies (6): the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (5): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Full-service restaurants (5): the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.

In St. Clair County, the Census counted 161 businesses with employees and 838 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 16 religious, civic and membership organizations operate in St. Clair County, 2.7 times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; the website should give customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.
