Website design for Salt Lake City, delivered remotely

We take on website work for Salt Lake City businesses remotely from Malvern, PA, and every stage is reviewed in your own browser.

Why it matters: 36,919 business establishments operated in the metro in 2023, and 84.2% of them employed fewer than 20 people.

Go deeper: how a remote build runs, stage by stage

Health care and social assistance alone holds 11.5% of the 707,823 paid employees counted in the metro in 2023.

Retail trade adds 10.7% and manufacturing 8.7%, so three sectors hold 30.9% of the payroll count.

The three cards above are the three largest of the 12 sectors we read for the metro, by paid employees: health care and social assistance, retail trade and manufacturing.

Hospitality and food is fourth, with 58,172 paid employees in 2,794 establishments.

  1. Health care

    81,514 paid employees across 3,978 establishments in 2023; a site here needs online booking, intake forms and an accessible path for every patient.

  2. Retail

    75,651 paid employees across 3,628 establishments in 2023; a site here needs stock that matches the till and a phone checkout.

  3. Manufacturing

    61,388 paid employees across 1,430 establishments in 2023; a site here needs spec sheets, distributor lookups and request-for-quote forms.

Websites we built

Six live sites we built open here in a preview window, the same way your build is reviewed before launch.

Why it matters: A working site shows how a build loads, reads and takes an enquiry, which no mock-up can.

Go deeper: how the previews work

Preview opens the live site inside a sandboxed frame on this page. Atlas Peptides blocks framing, so its preview is a dated screenshot instead.

None of the six is presented as a Salt Lake City business; each one shows a job a site has to do, whatever the city.

Between them they cover a configurator that prices as you build, online scheduling, booking with reviews pulled in, a shared stock count, a quote form and a checkout.

36,919 businesses, in public numbers

The metro had 36,919 business establishments in 2023, +9.6% since 2018, by County Business Patterns.

By the numbers: 1,300,762 people lived in the metro in 2024, +5.5% since 2019, and payrolls counted 707,823 employees.

Go deeper: what County Business Patterns counts

Of the 36,919 establishments, 31,090 had fewer than 20 people and 4,730 employed 20 to 99. Another 953 employed 100 to 499, and 146 employed 500 or more.

Within the 20-to-99 band, 3,471 establishments had 20 to 49 people and 1,259 had 50 to 99. The average establishment employed 19.2 of the 707,823 paid staff.

County Business Patterns counts employer establishments, locations with paid staff, so a sole owner with no employees is not in the 36,919; that is one establishment for every 35.2 residents.

NAICS 541511, custom computer programming, includes custom web page design and all other custom software, so 88 per 10,000 businesses is a ceiling on web-design firms in the metro.

Health care leads, with 81,514 employees

Health care and social assistance employed 81,514 people in the metro in 2023, the most of the 12 sectors we read.

Why it matters: who a site talks to follows the sector mix, and retail trade comes next at 75,651 employees.

  • Health care: 20.5 employees per establishment; booking and intake matter most.
  • Retail: 20.9 employees per establishment; stock and checkout must agree.
  • Manufacturing: 42.9 employees per establishment; spec sheets and RFQ forms carry the site.
Go deeper: who these pages are written for

3,978 health care and social assistance establishments in the metro need online booking, intake forms and an accessible path for every patient. The 3,628 in retail trade need stock that matches the till and a phone checkout.

Manufacturing counts 1,430 establishments that need spec sheets, distributor lookups and request-for-quote forms, and accommodation and food services, fourth at 58,172 employees, needs hours, menus and bookings that read on a phone in a hurry.

Professional, scientific and technical services ranks fifth at 58,008 employees, and the 12 sectors we read cover 584,726 of the 707,823 paid employees in the metro.

Together the four employ 276,725 people, 39.1% of the payroll count; the sector figures shape the scope, and the six sites above are our delivered work.

325 custom programming firms in the metro

325 custom computer programming establishments (NAICS 541511) operated in the metro in 2023, +4.8% since 2018.

Yes, but: that code also covers all custom software, so 88 per 10,000 businesses is a ceiling on web-design firms, not a count.

  • Graphic design (NAICS 541430): 100 establishments in 2023.
  • Marketing consulting (NAICS 541613): 382 establishments in 2023.
  • Advertising agencies (NAICS 541810): 93 establishments in 2023.
Go deeper: how to compare the firms on your list

With 425 programming and graphic design establishments in the metro, ask each firm for live sites you can open, who will own the code and domain, and a written scope.

The wider NAICS 5415 group, computer systems design and related services, counted 597 establishments, 161.7 per 10,000 businesses.

Marketing consulting (382) and advertising agencies (93) often sell websites too, so the full field in the metro is wider than the programming count.

Custom programming establishments went from 310 in 2018 to 325 in 2023, while graphic design stood at 100, 27.1 per 10,000 businesses.

Those 325 programming firms employed 4,766 people, about 14.7 each. The wider 5415 group employed 10,436.

From 33,695 to 36,919 businesses since 2018

Establishments in the metro rose from 33,695 in 2018 to 36,919 in 2023, a change of +9.6%.

The bottom line: construction grew the most of the 12 sectors, +20.9% in establishments, while wholesale trade moved −9.1%.

  • 20 to 99 employees: 4,354 establishments in 2018, 4,730 in 2023.
  • 100 to 499 employees: 859 in 2018, 953 in 2023.
  • 500 or more employees: 120 in 2018, 146 in 2023.
Go deeper: what the change means for a website

Construction went from 3,548 to 4,290 establishments between 2018 and 2023; wholesale trade went from 1,892 to 1,719.

Health care and social assistance came second, +17.6%, and educational services third, +12.8%.

That is a net gain of 3,224 establishments: each new one needs a first site, and each established one carries addresses and rankings a rebuild must keep.

Paid employees went from 624,863 to 707,823 over the same years, +13.3%. Population moved +5.5% from 2019 to 2024, to 1,300,762.

Ranked 56th of 64 places by businesses

The metro ranks 56th of the 64 places we build pages for by business establishments, and 28th for programming firms per 10,000 businesses.

By the numbers: population growth since 2019 ranks 23rd of 64, and the share of establishments under 20 staff ranks 35th.

Go deeper: why every place is measured the same way

Every place page uses the same Census tables, so these ranks compare like with like: 36,919 establishments here against the 64 places' own counts, 23rd for their change since 2018.

Programming firms run 88 per 10,000 businesses here against a median of 85.2. The under-20 share is 84.2% against 84.4%.

The 64 are the places whose web design searches clear 500 a month in Semrush's exact data, state pages counted with any places folded in; this one draws 760, 54th of the 134 places we measured nationwide.

How a Salt Lake City web project runs

A project here runs in the same five stages as every build of ours, from agreeing what the site is for to launch.

What you get: the scope, price and schedule in writing at stage two, before anything is designed or built.

Go deeper: what happens at each stage

Stage one fixes who the site talks to; in the metro, where health care and social assistance employs 81,514 people, that answer often sets the integrations.

Stage five hands the site over in your own accounts, a handover any of the 597 systems design establishments in the metro could pick up from.

For the 3,628 retail trade establishments here, stage two usually lists stock that matches the till and a phone checkout.

The five stages in order; the written scope, price and schedule come at stage two.
  1. Agree what the site is for

    Who the site talks to, what it must get them to do, and what it connects to.

  2. Scope, price and schedule in writing

    Pages, integrations, price and dates on paper before any design starts.

  3. Design in the browser

    Real content at real widths, reviewed on your own phone as it takes shape.

  4. Build and wire it up

    Code, forms, CRM, analytics and accessibility checks, in one pass.

  5. Launch, hand over, stay on

    The site goes live in your accounts, and we stay on for support.

Working with us from Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City runs on Mountain time, so our 9-to-5 Eastern day is 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. there.

The bottom line: the office answers (610) 890-9711 Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time, the day 325 programming firms here keep.

Do you have an office in Salt Lake City?

No. Our one office is in Malvern, PA, and projects here run remotely, with every stage reviewed in your own browser.

Go deeper: calls, reviews and where the work happens

Calls and screen-shares cover the whole build, and you review the work in your own browser between them; no branch office or answering service sits in between.

Web design questions from the metro

Not answered here? Call the office: (610) 890-9711

Yes. We take on website work for Salt Lake City businesses remotely from Malvern, PA, and every stage is reviewed in your own browser. You deal directly with the people designing and coding the site, and calls are set in Mountain hours, the clock the metro's 36,919 establishments keep.

The scope sets the price, not the ZIP code: pages, integrations and what the site must do, for one of the 31,090 small establishments here or a larger one. You get the price and schedule in writing first; advertisers paid about $11.60 a click for the main web design phrasing here (Semrush).

Hire a designer when the site has to book, quote, sell or connect to a CRM; a builder fits a site a standard template can serve. In the metro, 84.2% of establishments employ fewer than 20 people, so we say which route fits before quoting anything.

Yes. Titles, headings, page speed and schema go in while the site is built, and Search Console is connected at launch, so the 760 monthly searches (top phrasing 390) in the table above are targeted from day one. “web design salt lake city” alone draws 390 a month, by Semrush’s count.

Open the live sites a firm has built, ask who owns the code, domain and hosting, and get the scope and price in writing. With 425 programming and graphic design establishments in the metro, and 88 programming firms per 10,000 businesses, those three checks shorten the list quickly.

The site goes live on hosting in your name, with the domain in your account, and we stay on for support under the written proposal. Any of the 597 computer systems design establishments in the metro can pick it up later, because nothing is locked to us.

Yes. 31,090 of the 36,919 establishments in the metro had fewer than 20 employees in 2023, and every one of the six sites above is for an owner-led business. The scope starts with the one job the site must do, booked, quoted or sold.
