In Sheridan County, the Census counted 2,670 businesses with employees and 9,279 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Sheridan County has 2.5 times the national share of professional service firms: 777 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, clients check credentials before they call, so the website should show practice areas, people and credentials, and a contact form that reaches the right person. Oilfield and mining support companies are also overrepresented (15, 4.3 times the national share). 28.4% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 9.9% in professional, management and administrative services. Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Sheridan typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Rules that apply to a Sheridan business website

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

• Wyoming charges a mandatory statewide 4% sales and use tax, and counties may add voter-approved local pennies, so the total rate runs roughly from 4% to 8%. Wyoming Department of Revenue, Excise Tax Division
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• A contact form collects personal information, and Wyoming has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. W.S. 40-12-502
