Perry County as a whole had 378 employer establishments in 2023 and another 962 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Perry County leans toward religious, civic and membership organizations (53 establishments, 3.8 times the national share). In that business, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, and the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Next on the list: repair and maintenance shops, 21 of them, at twice the national share. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
