A web designer’s view of Ivey’s businesses

Ivey shares ZIP code 31031 with the surrounding area, where 75 employer businesses were counted in 2023. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Veterinary clinics: 3. Their website should show wellness visits, surgery and dental care on separate pages and a contact form for new clients.
• Site preparation contractors: 3. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Auto repair shops: 3. Their website should show a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• Quick-service restaurants: 3. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

In Wilkinson County, the Census counted 143 businesses with employees and 650 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (17.5%), retail trade (14.0%) and construction (10.5%). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Ivey typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Before you publish: Georgia and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
• 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
