A web designer’s view of Pitkin’s businesses
From the 2023 county count for Gunnison County:
- Custom home builders, 52 in the count. What works online: a portfolio page per home, the steps of working with you and a contact form for buyers who are still comparing builders.
- Sporting goods stores, 17 in the count. What works online: the brands you carry, store hours and an online store if you want to sell beyond the counter.
- RV parks and campgrounds, 6 in the count. What works online: site types, amenities, rules, a map and a contact form for availability.
- Real estate offices, 50 in the count. What works online: a page about each area you cover and an easy way for buyers and sellers to reach the right agent.
In Gunnison County, the Census counted 1,191 businesses with employees and 2,803 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 36 hotels, inns and other lodging operate in Gunnison County, 3.6 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, travelers compare rooms, rates and location; the website should give customers rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
