What makes Bishop different, and what your website should do about it

In Bishop, 32.3% of residents age 5 and over speak Spanish at home, and 7.0% report speaking English less than very well. Many customers here read English online but prefer to write in the language they grew up with, so simple words carry further than clever ones. If someone on your team speaks Spanish, say so on the contact page; it is one line of text, and it answers a real question. The site is where all of this gets settled, so it pays to get the basics right.

Mining, oil and gas account for 1.5% of the employer establishments in Nueces County, about six times the national share. Crews from out of town look for services from a phone, on short notice. State clearly the area you cover, what equipment you run and how to send a job request. That is the job a small business website does well: saying the obvious things clearly.
