Small business websites in Frankford: the local business mix

Frankford shares ZIP code 19945 with the surrounding area, where 161 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (13): emergency availability in plain words, the towns you cover and license information.
• Child care centers (3): the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
• Real estate offices (3): the agents, the neighborhoods you know best and a contact form for buyers and sellers.
• Full-service restaurants (3): the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.

In Sussex County, the Census counted 6,411 businesses with employees and 23,077 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Sussex County leans toward clothing and accessories stores (181 establishments, twice the national share). In that business, shoppers browse before they visit, and the website should show new arrivals, brands, sizes and store hours, or an online store. Specialty retailers are also overrepresented (131, 1.5 times the national share). 11.6% of employed residents work in arts, entertainment, recreation, lodging and food service, and 9.4% in education, health care and social assistance. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Paperwork and rules for Delaware businesses online

Some homework before launch:

• Delaware charges no sales tax. Instead it levies a gross receipts tax on the seller’s total revenue, at rates that vary by business activity, so the customer sees no tax line but the business owes tax on what it collects. Delaware Division of Revenue
• An operator of a commercial website, online service or mobile app that collects personally identifiable information from Delaware users must make its privacy policy conspicuously available on the site. There is no size threshold, so this reaches a small business website; an operator only violates the rule if it fails to post the policy within 30 days of being notified. 6 Del. C. Chapter 12C (Online and Personal Privacy Protection), 1205C
