Designing for Fountain: the facts that matter

The median resident of Fountain is 30.0 years old, younger than the Colorado median of 37.7. 27.2% of households rent their home. Young renters move often: every year brings people who need a new barber, gym, mechanic or dentist. A website that loads fast on a phone with prices, hours and a short form is what this market expects. Get those few things right and the rest of the website can stay simple.

Young children are a big part of Fountain: 7.0% of residents are under 5, and 28.2% are under 18. Busy families rarely call to ask; if the answer is not on the page, they move to the next result. Photos of the real space and a clear policy page answer what parents worry about.

Fountain sits 13 miles north of Colorado Springs, and 78.1% of its workers drive to work alone. Being close to Colorado Springs means competing with the whole metro; the local advantage is being close by. A contact form that works late in the evening and a reply by email beat a phone that rings during business hours only. That is the work a small business website does best: answering the first questions before anyone has to ask.

What their websites need: listings or the areas you cover, agent profiles and a contact form for each kind of client. Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Fountain typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Seasons in Fountain, and what they do to your website

About 16 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in July. Snowfall averages about 32 inches a year. About 23 days a year hit 90°F or more.

If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.
