Web Design in Friendship, Oklahoma

A web designer’s view of Friendship’s businesses

The Census counted 435 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 73521, which includes Friendship and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Quick-service restaurants (20): today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• Hotels and motels (8): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• New car dealers (5): brand pages, service department hours and contact forms for sales and service.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (8): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Child care centers (6): ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.

Across Jackson County, County Business Patterns counted 514 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,483 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Retail trade accounts for 20.0% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of accommodation and food services (11.1%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (10.9%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
