A web designer’s view of Maplewood’s businesses

The Census Bureau’s ZIP Code Business Patterns put 441 establishments with paid employees in Maplewood’s ZIP code (63143) in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• Architecture firms (10): a portfolio of built work, the project types you take and a contact form.
• Residential property managers (10): the services for owners, the areas you manage and a contact form for owners and tenants.
• Painting contractors (5): how you prepare and protect a home, with photos of finished rooms.
• New car dealers (6): brand pages, service department hours and contact forms for sales and service.
• Full-service restaurants (24): a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
• Gyms and fitness studios (5): the trainers, the classes and how to try a first visit by sending a form.

St. Louis County as a whole had 29,717 employer establishments in 2023 and another 88,357 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. St. Louis County has 2.2 times the national share of social assistance and child care providers: 1,554 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families look for programs and eligibility, so the website should show programs, eligibility, hours and how to apply or enroll. 39.5% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 15.1% in professional, management and administrative services. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
