Leon Valley up close: notes for a small business website

Leon Valley is a bilingual market: Spanish is spoken at home by 31.7% of residents, and 54.0% speak only English. Many customers here read English online but prefer to write in the language they grew up with, so clarity beats cleverness. If someone on your team speaks Spanish, say so on the contact page; it is one line of text, and customers look for it. All of this is written once and kept current, which is exactly what the monthly changes by email are for.

Only 5.8 miles from San Antonio, Leon Valley is part of the San Antonio orbit: the average trip to work takes 27.5 minutes. A commuter city researches at night and calls in the morning. A contact form that works after hours and a reply by email fit a commuter’s day better than a voicemail. That is the work a small business website does well: answering the first questions before anyone has to ask.

What the Census counts in Leon Valley

How a website for $89 a month works

Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. We don’t have an office in Leon Valley: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. You sign up in about 5 minutes and email us your logo, photos and anything you want on the site.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Approve it: the first monthly fee is issued and your domain starts showing the new site.

Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.

Texas and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
• 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
• A trade name must match your legal name or an assumed name certificate (DBA) registered with Texas. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• A contact form collects personal information, and Texas has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.053
• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Leon Valley, that means asking Bexar County and the City of Leon Valley. Official source
