In that trade, public agencies and developers check qualifications first; a good site gives customers project types, equipment, bonding and licensing information and a contact for bid invitations. The county also has a strong cluster of rental and leasing businesses (79 establishments, twice the national share). 12.7% of employed residents work in transportation, warehousing and utilities, and 10.8% in professional, management and administrative services. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

Running a website from Oyster Creek: the Texas rules

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
• 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 Oyster Creek, that means asking Brazoria County and the City of Oyster Creek. Official source
