• 10 insurance agencies: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• 6 auto repair shops: a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• 5 full-service restaurants: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

In Spink County, the Census counted 197 businesses with employees and 507 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 21 nondurable goods wholesalers operate in Spink County, about seven times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog; the website should give customers the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer.
