Designing for Redmond: the facts that matter

Most of Redmond owns its home (64.5% of households), and Bend is 15 miles away. Being close to Bend means your competitors include businesses across the metro area; the local advantage is showing up on time. A contact form that works after hours and a reply by email beat a phone that rings during business hours only. The website is where that gets settled, so it pays to get the basics right.

Since 1910, Redmond has accumulated more than a century of businesses, families and habits. Long-established places reward businesses that feel familiar: people want to know who they are dealing with and how long you have been around. If the business has served Redmond for a while, say so plainly and prove it with photos of real jobs. Most of this is a matter of saying it on the page, which is precisely what the monthly changes by email are for.

Look at what Redmond does for a living: 27.0% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, 13.7% in retail trade. A city’s work pattern says when customers have time to look you up, and what they want to read first. An always-available contact form and clear hours suit residents on any shift.

Running a website from Redmond: the Oregon rules

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

• The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Applies to a person that conducts business in Oregon, or provides products or services to Oregon residents, and that controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or the personal data of 25,000 or more consumers while deriving over 25% of annual gross revenue from the sale of personal data. A typical small business is outside the Act. Nonprofits came in on July 1, 2025. From January 1, 2026 controllers must honor opt-out preference signals and may not sell the data of a consumer under 16, and the Attorney General no longer has to give a cure period. Enforcement is by the Oregon DOJ only; there is no private right of action. ORS 646A.570 to 646A.589 (SB 619, 2023; amended by HB 3875, 2025)
• Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
