The Lavina climate, from a business owner’s view
By the 1991-2020 normals of the Roundup weather station (9.7 miles from Lavina), July highs average 87°F and January lows average 11°F. About 15 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 41 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 196 days.

Paperwork and rules for Montana businesses online
These are some of the Montana and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act exists, but its thresholds are high: Businesses doing business in Montana or targeting Montana residents that control or process the personal data of not less than 25,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of not less than 15,000 consumers while deriving more than 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data. The 2025 amendment LOWERED these thresholds (they were 50,000 and 25,000 before). Montana’s 25,000-consumer threshold is now among the lowest in the country, and Montana’s population is small, so a business with a real Montana customer base should check. Three sections (30-14-2811, 30-14-2818 and 30-14-2819 — the minor/teen provisions) apply to ANY business targeting Montana residents, with no threshold at all. Mont. Code Ann. Title 30, chapter 14, part 28 (SB 384, 2023; amended by Ch. 567, L. 2025 / SB 297)
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your town hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
Before you sign up: questions from Lavina
I work in Lavina and nearby towns. Can the website say that?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Ryegate, Roundup, Broadview and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
I already have a domain. Can I keep it?
If you have one, we use it. If you don’t, the domain is part of the plan: we register it and take care of the renewal.
Is a website worth it for a business in a town of 141 people?
Your customers come from all of Golden Valley County, not only Lavina: the county has 10 businesses with employees and 104 without (2023). The website is what they find when they search.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
Put your Lavina business on the web
No setup fee, no lock-in contract: you see the finished website first and pay the first month only if you approve it.
