A web designer’s view of Parker’s businesses

Some of the business types in Fremont County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• RV parks and campgrounds: 7. Their website should show site types, amenities, rules, a map and a contact form for availability.
• Site preparation contractors: 10. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Local trucking companies: 8. Their website should show the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• Full-service restaurants: 15. Their website should show the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

Across Fremont County, County Business Patterns counted 395 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,443 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. One sector stands out in Fremont County: hotels, inns and other lodging, with 23 establishments and about seven times the national share. What works for them online: 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.
