A web designer’s view of Otoe’s businesses

Otoe County has, among its employer businesses:

• Hardware stores: 5. Their website should show departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
• Insurance agencies: 14. Their website should show the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
• Remodeling contractors: 12. Their website should show a gallery of past remodels, a clear list of what you do and don’t take on, and a form that sends estimate requests to your inbox.
• Local trucking companies: 7. Their website should show the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.

Otoe County as a whole had 470 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,277 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 29 religious, civic and membership organizations operate in Otoe County, 1.7 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; a good site gives customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.
