When Draper customers need you: the seasons
Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Murdo, 8.9 miles away, put the July average high at 87°F and the January average low at 12°F. Precipitation adds up to about 22 inches a year, falling on about 46 days with a tenth of an inch or more. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 34 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 157 days. Winter changes what people need: plowing and heating in winter, landscaping and outdoor work the rest of the year. Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.
Which Draper businesses need a small business website
From the 2023 county count for Jones County:
- Hotels and motels (5): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
In Jones County, the Census counted 43 businesses with employees and 96 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are accommodation and food services (30.2%), retail trade (16.3%) and finance and insurance (9.3%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
