As the first rays of morning sunlight sweep across the Wuling Mountains, the tea gardens in Youyang, Chongqing, are already bustling with activity. Simultaneously, six hundred kilometers away in the Wuhan Optics Valley Software Park, a group of programmers is conducting final debugging on lines of code displayed on their screens. Connecting these two scenes is an enterprise service company named "Youyoucao E-Yu"—it is quietly weaving an invisible network for the digital economy across Hubei and Chongqing through what seems like the traditional business of "enterprise website building."

"Many people think corporate websites are outdated products, but for the manufacturing enterprises, agricultural cooperatives, and cultural tourism organizations we serve, a professional website remains their digital business card to connect with the global market," said Li Zhe, founder of Youyoucao E-Yu, showing backend data to a reporter in his office in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area. On the map on the screen, dense clusters of light points continuously flicker across western Hubei and southeastern Chongqing, each representing a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) that has completed its digital "first experience" through their services.

The company's rise bears distinct regional characteristics. In 2019, Li Zhe, who had previously worked for internet companies in coastal regions, returned to his hometown of Yichang and discovered that a vast number of local enterprises either had no online presence or were stuck with "digital business card" style webpages from a decade ago. "Hubei's manufacturing heritage and Chongqing's cultural tourism resources both require more modern digital expression." This observation led to the creation of a "dual-city linkage" service model between Hubei and Chongqing—the Wuhan team handles technology development and brand strategy, while the Chongqing team conducts localized operations deep within districts and counties.

A reporter's visit to a cured meat processing factory in Enshi confirmed the value of this service. Factory manager Zhang Jianguo pointed to the newly launched website and said, "In the past, customers found us through personal referrals. Now, even procurement agents from Russia can find our contact information through the website. Last year, orders secured through online channels accounted for 30% of our total sales." This seemingly simple website integrates features like multilingual switching, real-time production line monitoring, and blockchain traceability queries—the result of two months of needs assessment and technical adaptation by the Youyoucao E-Yu team.

A closer look reveals that their "enterprise website building" has long transcended the scope of templated products. For the rural tourism clusters in southeastern Chongqing, they developed integrated platforms combining VR virtual tours, live streams of intangible cultural heritage crafts, and e-commerce for local specialties. For Wuhan's optoelectronics enterprises, they built technical documentation centers compliant with international certification standards and global service network portals. "What we create are not webpages, but business premises for the digital age," emphasized Chen Wei, the company's Product Director.

This deep-service model is creating ripple effects. In Yunyang County, northeastern Chongqing, over thirty citrus cooperatives have formed a regional brand matrix through a unified sub-site system, achieving a 210% year-on-year increase in cross-border e-commerce sales last year. A research report from the Hubei Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology noted that local digital service providers like Youyoucao E-Yu are becoming the "primary driving force" for the digital transformation of regional SMEs.

However, challenges persist. Li Zhe admits that the greatest difficulty lies not in technology, but in changing the mindset of business owners. "Many traditional business owners still view websites as 'optional facades.' We need to use real cases to prove that a website equipped with marketing capabilities, data functions, and ecosystem connectivity is, in essence, a digital asset for the enterprise." To this end, they have established "Digital Workshops" in both regions, offering free training to help business owners master basic digital operation skills.

As the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and the Yangtze River Midstream Urban Agglomeration progresses, regional economic integration demands higher standards for digital infrastructure. The efforts of Youyoucao E-Yu reveal an often-overlooked fact: beyond the giant platform economies, professional service providers deeply rooted in their regions and attuned to the nuances of local industries are injecting sustainable digital DNA into local economies through foundational services like "enterprise website building."

Before leaving Chongqing, the reporter witnessed an interesting scene in Wushan County: a homestay owner was showing a guest from Shanghai a 360-degree panoramic view of a mountain-view room on his website via his phone. "We fine-tuned this page together with designers from Youyoucao E-Yu, aiming to make people feel like they can smell the river breeze through the screen," the owner said with a smile. Perhaps this is the best interpretation of "localness" in the digital age—technology is not meant to erase regional characteristics, but to ensure that the story of every piece of land can be seen by the world.
