Door County as a whole had 1,292 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,243 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Door County leans toward hotels, inns and other lodging (99 establishments, about nine times the national share). In that business, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, and the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. Specialty retailers are also overrepresented (49, 2.7 times the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
