Stanardsville’s small businesses and what their websites need
The Census counted 87 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 22973, which includes Stanardsville and its surroundings. Among them:
- Electrical contractors, 5 in the count. What works online: residential and commercial services on separate pages, license information and a quote form.
- Auto repair shops, 3 in the count. What works online: certifications, warranty terms in plain words and a contact form for estimates.
- Real estate offices, 3 in the count. What works online: market areas, how you work with buyers and sellers and a contact form.
In Greene County, the Census counted 384 businesses with employees and 1,756 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Greene County has 2.2 times the national share of specialty trade contractors: 52 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, so the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. Homebuilders and building contractors are also overrepresented (23, twice the national share).

Virginia and federal rules for small business websites
Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

- Virginia’s state retail sales tax rate is 4.3%. A 1% local tax applies statewide, so the general rate is 5.3% almost everywhere, and some regions add a further 0.7% or more. Virginia Department of Taxation
- Greene County and the Town of Stanardsville may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
