Weather in Belgium: plan the website around it

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Port Washington, is 7.5 miles from Belgium. It records an average high of 79°F in July and an average low of 15°F in January. About 34 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 132 times a year. Winter changes what people need: plowing and heating in winter, landscaping and outdoor work the rest of the year. Plan the website around your busy season: send the changes by email a few weeks ahead.

What Belgium customers look for before they call

Most of Belgium is homegrown: 81.4% of residents were born in Wisconsin. A rooted community still looks businesses up before calling, if only to find the hours.

Ozaukee County had 94,346 residents in 2025 and 10 incorporated municipalities. At the county level, where the estimates are more precise: the median household income is $96,996 and the median age is 43.9. 93.5% of households have broadband and 9.5% rely on a cellphone data plan alone. Homeowners are 72.9% of households.

A web designer’s view of Belgium’s businesses

Belgium shares ZIP code 53004 with the surrounding area, where 74 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Auto body shops: 3. Their website should show photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
• Hotels and motels: 3. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Full-service restaurants: 3. Their website should show the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

Across Ozaukee County, County Business Patterns counted 2,832 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 7,681 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Ozaukee County has 4.5 times the national share of machinery manufacturers: 31 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, industrial buyers compare specifications, so the website should show product lines, specifications, service and parts contacts. Among Belgium residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (21.8%) and manufacturing (19.6%).

The legal basics for Belgium businesses online

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
