County-wide, Bedford County counts 1,080 businesses with employees and 3,422 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Bedford County has about nine times the national share of wood products manufacturers: 15 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, builders and dealers buy by spec, so the website should show products and species, sizes, delivery area and a quote request form. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 91 of them, at 2.3 times the national share. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
