After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.

Maryland rules to know before your website goes live

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

• The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) rarely reaches a local business: Businesses doing business in Maryland or targeting Maryland residents that, in the preceding calendar year, controlled or processed the personal data of at least 35,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of at least 10,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from selling personal data. Maryland’s 35,000-consumer threshold is the lowest in the country, so a small business with a real Maryland customer base can be caught — a local service business or small store usually stays below it, but a site with tens of thousands of Maryland visitors whose data it processes should check. Md. Code, Commercial Law §§14-4701 et seq., Subtitle 47 (SB 541 / HB 567, 2024)
• A contact form collects personal information, and Maryland has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Md. Code, Commercial Law §14-3504 (Maryland Personal Information Protection Act)
• Maryland’s sales and use tax rate is 6% (6 cents on each dollar). There are no local sales taxes in Maryland. Comptroller of Maryland
