The Belle business count, sector by sector

Belle shares ZIP code 25015 with the surrounding area, where 78 employer businesses were counted in 2023. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• 3 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

Kanawha County as a whole had 4,396 employer establishments in 2023 and another 9,462 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Kanawha County leans toward oil and gas producers (15 establishments, about six times the national share). In that business, operators and suppliers vet contractors carefully, and the website should show your capabilities, safety record and the fields or basins you work in. Religious, civic and membership organizations are also overrepresented (327, twice the national share). Among Belle residents who work, the largest fields are finance, insurance and real estate (13.0%) and retail trade (11.5%).

How Aria builds a Belle website

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. We don’t have an office in Belle: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. You sign up in about 5 minutes and email us your logo, photos and anything you want on the site.
2. We build it with your brand on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 5 business days.
3. Approve it, pay the first month, and the website goes live on your domain together with your business email.

Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.
