Web Design in Scottsburg, Indiana

Before you build: what Scottsburg looks like from a business owner’s chair

Scottsburg is the seat of Scott County, so the county courthouse and county offices are here. Visitors who come in for county business usually need something else while they are here: lunch, a copy shop, a notary, a mechanic. Put the address, parking and the hours on every page; a visitor from out of town needs that before anything else.

Scottsburg sits 24 miles south of Jeffersonville, and 89.7% of its workers drive to work alone; the average commute is 23.9 minutes. Being close to Jeffersonville means competing with the whole metro; the local advantage is being close by. Make it obvious you are in Scottsburg and list the neighborhoods you cover; it is the edge you have over the big city. The website is where that gets settled, so it pays to get the basics right.

A web designer’s view of Scottsburg’s businesses

Scottsburg shares ZIP code 47170 with the surrounding area, where 313 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• Hotels and motels: 7. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Pharmacies: 4. Their website should show hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
• Quick-service restaurants: 16. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• Landscaping companies: 6. Their website should show maintenance plans and one-time projects on separate pages, the neighborhoods you cover and a quote form.
• Insurance agencies: 7. Their website should show a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.

Across Scott County, County Business Patterns counted 401 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,317 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Scott County has 2.6 times the national share of vehicle dealers: 15 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shoppers browse inventory and compare prices online, so the website should show inventory, financing information as allowed by law, service department hours and directions. Among Scottsburg residents who work, the largest fields are manufacturing (30.3%) and education, health care and social assistance (16.5%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
