Web Design in Magnolia, New Jersey

Why a Magnolia website can’t be generic

Ever since 1915, Magnolia has accumulated more than a century of businesses, families and habits. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names are known, and the new ones have to explain themselves faster. If the business has served Magnolia for a while, say so plainly and prove it with photos of the shop over the years. That is the job a small business website does well: saying the obvious things clearly.

New Jersey rules to know before your website goes live

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Magnolia businesses:

• A corporation, LLC or LP that does business under a name other than its legal name registers an ALTERNATE NAME with DORES ($50, effective for five years, renewable). Sole proprietors and partnerships instead register a TRADE NAME with the county where the business is located. Official source
• 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
