The roads, towns and places around Wales
Distances from Wales: Hannah (6.9 miles), Langdon (14 miles) and Calvin (16 miles). Wales covers 0.2 square miles of land, about 33 residents per square mile. A 25-mile radius around Wales takes in 10 other municipalities. Grand Forks, a city of 60,365, is 97 miles southeast. Langdon, seat of Cavalier County, lies 14 miles to the southeast. A service area page that lists the towns you cover, from Wales to Calvin and Langdon, answers the first question many customers have: do you come to me?
Wales weather, in normals: July highs around 77°F, January lows around -5°F, measured at Langdon Experiment Farm, 15 miles away (1991-2020). Precipitation totals about 21 inches a year, with June the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 200 times a year. Cold winters bring furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. Give seasonal work its own page, so customers find them when they need them.
The businesses that compete for customers in Wales
Some of the business types in Cavalier County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:
- 6 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
Cavalier County as a whole had 135 employer establishments in 2023 and another 331 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Cavalier County leans toward nondurable goods wholesalers (15 establishments, about eight times the national share). For them, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, and the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
Website design for the people of Wales
The county around Wales, Cavalier County, counts 3,497 residents and 12 cities and towns.

Questions from Wales business owners
Can I tell customers in Hannah that I serve their town?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Langdon and Hannah included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Do you have an office in Wales?
No. Aria is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and works with every client online: material, change requests and questions go by email, and you review the website on a temporary link before it goes live.
Does a small business in Wales need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Cavalier County counts 331 nonemployer businesses and 135 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Wales is the point of the website.
