Website design Sedona: start with the customer

The newcomers came from the Midwest: 64.2% of residents were born in another state. Without a website, a business is invisible to the people who arrived last year. 50.4% of adults 25 and over hold a bachelor’s degree or higher (33.3% in Arizona). Credentials, licenses and clear service descriptions carry weight with this audience.

About 17.9% of the city speaks Spanish at home. If your team speaks Spanish, one line on the contact page saying so answers a question many visitors have.

92.3% of households have a broadband subscription. A business without a website loses that first look.

Before you publish: Arizona and federal rules

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

• Arizona taxes retail sales through the transaction privilege tax: 5% under A.R.S. 42-5010 plus a 0.6% increment under A.R.S. 42-5010.01, for a 5.6% state rate, and counties and cities add their own rates. Arizona Department of Revenue
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
