Louisiana by the numbers
Louisiana runs on small business.
54.1% of Louisiana workers are employed by a small business, above the national figure of 45.9%. By count, Louisiana ranks 23rd among the 50 states for small businesses.
And roughly 84 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.

Where the jobs are
Louisiana's biggest small business industries.
In Louisiana, health care and social assistance employs more small business workers than any other industry. Here is what each of the top three needs from a website.
- 1. Health care and social assistance149,910 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.
- 2. Food service and hospitality122,119 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.
- 3. Retail91,517 small business jobs
Shops, showrooms and dealers. Customers check hours, directions and what is in stock, and many shops are ready to sell online too. We build websites for retail stores.
Ranked by small business employment, from the same SBA profile. Whatever your industry, the goal is the same: when someone in New Orleans searches for what you do, they find you and call.
Local search
Get found in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport
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 Baton Rouge or Shreveport 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 Louisiana 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.
Louisiana charges a 5.00% state sales tax, and local taxes bring the average combined rate to 10.13% (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.
