A web designer’s view of Benton City’s businesses

Audrain County has, among its employer businesses:

• Insurance agencies: 14. Their website should show the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
• Pet grooming and boarding businesses: 5. Their website should show services and prices you choose to publish, photos of happy clients and a form to ask for a spot.
• Site preparation contractors: 5. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Quick-service restaurants: 13. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

In Audrain County, the Census counted 470 businesses with employees and 1,541 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 19 banks and lenders operate in Audrain County, twice what the national mix would predict. In that trade, customers compare rates and branches; the website should give customers branch hours, services and the required disclosures. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 27 of them, at 1.6 times the national share. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
