Before you build: what Jenkintown looks like from a business owner’s chair

Montgomery County counts 78,368 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners, next to 26,711 with employees. Solo contractors compete on trust with bigger firms, and a proper website levels much of that field. Put your name and photo on the website: customers hire you, not a logo. Get those few things right and the rest of the website can stay simple.

9.2% of Jenkintown commuters spend an hour or more getting to work, and the average trip takes 33.3 minutes.
