Who lives in Millstone, and what that means for your website

Millstone’s housing is older, with a median construction year of 1956. Older homes need constant upkeep, and owners search for help when something breaks. The average commute is 30.3 minutes. A website that answers questions after hours is more useful to them than an office phone.

95.9% of households have a broadband subscription. A business without a website loses that first look.

The businesses that compete for customers in Millstone

The Census counted 994 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 08844, which includes Millstone and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Dental offices: 27. Their website should show insurance plans, new-patient information and a map to the office.
• Masonry contractors: 11. Their website should show pavers, block and stone work shown in real photos, plus the towns you cover and a quote form.
• Tutoring and test prep centers: 5. Their website should show subjects, how sessions work and a contact form for parents.
• Beauty salons: 14. Their website should show a price list, a gallery of recent work and a contact form for appointment requests by email.
• Full-service restaurants: 26. Their website should show the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.

Somerset County as a whole had 9,831 employer establishments in 2023 and another 33,139 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Somerset County has 1.4 times the national share of professional service firms: 1,678 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, clients check credentials before they call, so the website should show practice areas, people and credentials, and a contact form that reaches the right person. 7.4% of employed residents work in retail trade, and 6.7% in professional, management and administrative services. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Before you publish: New Jersey and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• New Jersey charges a single statewide Sales Tax of 6.625% on most tangible personal property, specified digital products and certain services; there is no general local sales tax, though reduced rates apply in Urban Enterprise Zones and Salem County and Atlantic City has its own structure. New Jersey Division of Taxation
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
