Before you build: what Maryville looks like from a business owner’s chair

Blount Memorial Hospital is in Maryville, and schools, clinics and hospitals employ 26.9% of working residents. A health care hub brings patients in from surrounding towns and keeps busy pharmacies, therapists, home care, medical supply and the services around them. List the providers, their training, the insurance you accept and how to get in touch; patients look for exactly that.

Maryville is 16 miles north of Knoxville, close enough that customers compare you with businesses across the metro. Being close to Knoxville means competing with the whole metro; the local advantage is showing up on time. Make it obvious you are in Maryville and list the neighborhoods you cover; that is your advantage over the metro. A short, specific page does more for this audience than a clever one.

Maryville goes back to 1785, so it has more than two centuries of history. Customers in an older city often ask around first, and the website is where that recommendation gets checked. An About page with names, dates and faces carries more weight here than a list of adjectives. Most of this is written once and kept current, which is precisely what the monthly changes by email are for.

In Blount County, the Census counted 2,510 businesses with employees and 11,113 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. One sector stands out in Blount County: religious, civic and membership organizations, with 154 establishments and 1.7 times the national share. What their websites need: meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.

Weather in Maryville: plan the website around it

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Knoxville Mcghee Tyson Airport, 4.9 miles away, put the July average high at 88°F and the January average low at 30°F. About 52 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in July. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 67 times a year. Wet seasons mean roof leaks and water damage, and the searches come in the same hour the water does. A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

The legal basics for Maryville businesses online

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

• A business operating in a Tennessee county or incorporated municipality and grossing $100,000 or more must register for and pay business tax, which is administered with county and city business licenses; the city business tax applies where the city has enacted it. In Maryville, that means asking Blount County and the City of Maryville. Official source
• Tennessee’s general state sales tax rate is 7%, and a local rate set by the county or city is added on top. Tennessee Department of Revenue
• The Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) rarely reaches a local business: A business that does business in Tennessee or targets Tennessee residents, earns more than $25 million in annual revenue, and either controls or processes the personal information of at least 25,000 Tennessee consumers while deriving 50% of gross annual revenue from selling that information, or processes the personal information of at least 175,000 Tennessee consumers in a calendar year. A small business with a website is almost always outside the law because of the $25 million revenue test. Tenn. Code Ann. Section 47-18-3201 et seq. (2023 Public Chapter 408)
• A business must notify Tennessee residents whose personal information was, or may have been, acquired by an unauthorized person after a data breach. Tenn. Code Ann. Section 47-18-2107 (Tennessee Identity Theft Deterrence Act of 1999, data breach notification law)
