Keyport up close: notes for a small business website

Ever since 1908, Keyport has built up more than a century of local history. In a place with that much history, families tend to stay with the businesses they know, and a newer business has to earn trust one job at a time. New in town? Then the website has to do what word of mouth does for the older names: show the work, the people and the prices. That does not take a big website. It takes a clear one, kept up to date.

Which Keyport businesses need a small business website

Keyport shares ZIP code 07735 with the surrounding area, where 336 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Marinas: 5. Their website should show slips, services, fuel dock hours and a map, with a contact form for availability.
• Auto repair shops: 12. Their website should show the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 11. Their website should show maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Full-service restaurants: 16. Their website should show a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.

Across Monmouth County, County Business Patterns counted 19,883 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 67,360 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Monmouth County has 1.6 times the national share of personal care and laundry businesses: 1,053 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, clients choose by services, prices and photos, so the website should show services and prices, photos of real work, hours and location. Next on the list: recreation and amusement businesses, 331 of them, at 1.6 times the national share. Among Keyport residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (20.3%) and professional, management and administrative services (14.4%).

Before you publish: New Jersey and federal rules

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to most Keyport businesses:

• New Jersey charges a single statewide Sales Tax of 6.625% on most tangible personal property, specified digital products and certain services; there is no general local sales tax, though reduced rates apply in Urban Enterprise Zones and Salem County and Atlantic City has its own structure. New Jersey Division of Taxation
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your borough hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
