New Jersey and federal rules for small business websites
Some homework before launch:
- 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
- Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; New Jersey’s is Gross revenue from delivery of tangible personal property, specified digital products or services into New Jersey exceeds $100,000, OR 200 or more separate transactions, during the current or prior calendar year. Official source
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465

Before you sign up: questions from Mountain Lakes
How do I tell customers in Morris Plains that I serve their town?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Rockaway, Morris Plains, Boonton or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.

No visits: Aria works remotely from Curitiba, Brazil. You send your logo, photos and texts by email, and approve the website on a temporary link.
Do I need professional photos?
No. Photos of your real work or place, taken with a good phone, usually say more than stock images; send them by email with your logo and service descriptions.
