One sector stands out in Douglas County: wood products manufacturers, with 19 establishments and far more than the national share. What works for them online: products and species, sizes, delivery area and a quote request form. Next on the list: trucking companies, 23 of them, at twice the national share. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
