A web designer’s view of Deepstep’s businesses

The Census counted 257 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 31082, which includes Deepstep and its surroundings. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 7 child care centers: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.
• 3 funeral homes: your services explained with care, contact information and directions.
• 10 quick-service restaurants: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• 5 home health care agencies: the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.
• 3 furniture stores: product photos by room, store hours and, if you want, an online store with the same monthly fee.

County-wide, Washington County counts 342 businesses with employees and 1,592 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). One sector stands out in Washington County: religious, civic and membership organizations, with 23 establishments and 1.8 times the national share. What works for them online: meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Georgia and federal rules for small business websites

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Georgia rules as any other.

• 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
• 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

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
