California by the numbers
California runs on small business.
47.4% of California workers are employed by a small business, above the national figure of 45.9%. No state has more small businesses than California.
And roughly 81 in 100 are run by the owner alone. That owner is usually the one who has to figure out the website, in between everything else. That is who Website Build Co is for: you tell us about the business, and we handle the design, the writing, the setup and the launch.
Source: U.S. Small Business Administration, Office of Advocacy, 2025 Small Business Profile: California. Small businesses are firms with fewer than 500 employees; business counts are 2022 Census data, job figures cover March 2023 to March 2024.
Where the jobs are
California's biggest small business industries.
In California, food service and hospitality employs more small business workers than any other industry. Here is what each of the top three needs from a website.
- 1. Food service and hospitality1,110,793 small business jobs
Restaurants, cafes, bars and inns. These sites are used on phones: a menu that loads fast, hours, directions and a way to order or book. We build websites for restaurants.
- 2. Health care and social assistance1,013,023 small business jobs
Clinics, therapists, dentists, home care agencies and child care centers. Their sites need clear services, insurance and intake details, and an easy way to request an appointment.
- 3. Professional services805,645 small business jobs
Accountants, lawyers, engineers, consultants and agencies. The website is often the first meeting, so it has to look credible and make booking a consult easy.
Ranked by small business employment, from the same SBA profile. Whatever your industry, the goal is the same: when someone in Los Angeles searches for what you do, they find you and call.
Local search
Get found in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose
Most people find a local business the same way: they search on their phone, look at the map results and the first few websites, and call the one that looks right. A good website is what turns that search into a call.
Every site we build has the SEO basics done right: fast pages, a mobile-first design, clear page titles that name what you do and where, and Google Search Console set up so you can see how people find you.
Serve more than one town? The Business package adds a page for each service and each area you cover, so a customer searching in San Diego or San Jose lands on a page written for them, not a generic home page.
We also set up your Google Business Profile, the listing that shows on the map. We've built sites that rank #1 on Google, but no honest company can promise a ranking. How we handle local SEO.
Selling online
Online stores for California businesses.
Our Online Store package builds your store on Shopify: design, up to 100 products loaded, payments, shipping and taxes set up, starting at $3,499.
California charges a 7.25% state sales tax, and local taxes bring the average combined rate to 9.03% (Tax Foundation, July 1, 2026). Because the rate changes from town to town, we set up Shopify to calculate tax from each delivery address.
Sales tax rules depend on where you sell and ship, so check with your accountant about where you need to collect. We handle the setup in Shopify once you know.
