Collin County as a whole had 31,012 employer establishments in 2023 and another 133,097 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Collin County has 1.7 times the national share of professional service firms: 6,121 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, clients check credentials before they call, so the website should show practice areas, people and credentials, and a contact form that reaches the right person. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
