What a web designer should know about Dayton
Mining, oil and gas are a real industry here: 34 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, far more than the national share. Energy work creates demand for contractors, trucking and repair that moves with the industry. Safety credentials and certifications belong on a contractor’s website, not just mentioned on the phone.

Who is searching in Dayton
Armstrong County: 63,698 residents (2025) in 17 incorporated places. Census estimates for a borough this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: the median household income is $65,008 and the median age is 47.2. Broadband reaches 86.8% of homes, and 9.7% of households are online only through a phone plan. 78.8% of households own their home.
The businesses that compete for customers in Dayton
Dayton shares ZIP code 16222 with the surrounding area, where 32 employer businesses were counted in 2023.
In Armstrong County, the Census counted 1,288 businesses with employees and 3,555 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Armstrong County has far more than the national share of oilfield and mining support companies: 17 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, field crews and operators hire on short notice, so the website should show services by type, equipment, certifications and the area you cover.

What Pennsylvania asks of a business with a website
Some homework before launch:
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
- The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
- Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Dayton, that means asking Armstrong County and the Borough of Dayton. Official source

Before you sign up: questions from Dayton
Does a small business in Dayton need a website?
Your market is bigger than the borough: Armstrong County has 3,555 nonemployer businesses and 1,288 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Dayton find you.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes, the layout adapts to phones and tablets. That matters in Dayton, where 16.9% of households get online only through a cellphone data plan.
My business is in Dayton, but I also work in Rural Valley. Can the website show that?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Rural Valley, Timblin, Plumville or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Do you work with businesses outside Dayton?
Yes. A service area page can cover every part of Armstrong County you serve.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
