Small business websites in Mammoth Lakes: the local business mix

Mammoth Lakes shares ZIP code 93546 with the surrounding area, where 487 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 30 residential property managers: the services for owners, the areas you manage and a contact form for owners and tenants.
• 10 sporting goods stores: the brands you carry, store hours and an online store if you want to sell beyond the counter.
• 6 RV parks and campgrounds: site types, amenities, rules, a map and a contact form for availability.
• 16 custom home builders: a portfolio page per home, the steps of working with you and a contact form for buyers who are still comparing builders.

In Mono County, the Census counted 627 businesses with employees and 1,327 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Accommodation and food services accounts for 24.9% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of construction (15.5%) and real estate and rental (12.3%). Mammoth Lakes’ working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (16.6%) and finance, insurance and real estate (9.8%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

What California asks of a business with a website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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
• A fictitious business name statement is filed with the county clerk, not the state: a for-profit business using a name other than the owner’s surname files in the county of its principal place of business. California Business and Professions Code section 17900 et seq.
• Cities and counties issue the local business license or business tax certificate; the state’s CalGOLD tool lists the permits a given business needs at a given address. In Mammoth Lakes, that means asking Mono County and the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Official source
• California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and most areas add district taxes of roughly 0.10% to 2.00% on top of it. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
• The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) rarely reaches a local business: For-profit businesses doing business in California that meet any one of three tests: gross annual revenue over $25 million; buying, selling or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more California residents or households; or deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information. A typical small business (a local service company with a brochure site or a small store) meets none of them and is outside the CCPA – but CalOPPA still requires a privacy policy (see outras_leis_site). California Civil Code, Title 1.81.5 (Civ. Code 1798.100 et seq.)
