Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Marion County leans toward farm and forestry support services (82 establishments, about seven times the national share). In that business, farmers book custom harvesting, spraying and equipment work by the season, and the website should show the crops, acres or animals you handle, your equipment and the counties you cover. Among Aurora residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (16.5%) and retail trade (12.5%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

What Oregon asks of a business with a website

A few rules apply to any Aurora business that sells or advertises online:

• Oregon law requires an entity to notify any Oregon consumer whose personal information was subject to a security breach within 45 days of discovering it, and to report the breach with a sample notice to the Oregon Department of Justice within 45 days when more than 250 Oregon consumers are affected. Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act (OCIPA), ORS 646A.600 to 646A.628
• 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
