A year of weather in Westmoreland

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Bethpage weather station (8.6 miles from Westmoreland), July highs average 88°F and January lows average 25°F. About 55 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 36 days a year. Wet seasons mean roof leaks and water damage, and customers search right after the storm. Plan the website around your busy season: send the changes by email a few weeks ahead.

A web designer’s view of Westmoreland’s businesses

The Census counted 102 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 37186, which includes Westmoreland and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Site preparation contractors, 5 in the count. What works online: the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Auto repair shops, 5 in the count. What works online: the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
• Grocery stores, 3 in the count. What works online: what you carry, local products and directions.
• Full-service restaurants, 4 in the count. What works online: the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

County-wide, Sumner County counts 3,875 businesses with employees and 20,365 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). One sector stands out in Sumner County: banks and lenders, with 133 establishments and 1.6 times the national share. What works for them online: branch hours, services and the required disclosures. Metal fabrication shops are also overrepresented (43, 1.7 times the national share). The jobs Westmoreland residents hold are mostly in professional, management and administrative services (9.2%) and construction (8.3%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Five years of change in Westmoreland

Westmoreland gained 82 residents between July 2020 and July 2025. That compares with +5.8% for Tennessee as a whole. Every family that moves in starts by searching for the basics, and the businesses with a website get that first look.

Reaching customers beyond the Westmoreland town limits

Nearby incorporated places: Lafayette (12 miles east), Hartsville (13 miles south), Scottsville, KY (13 miles north) and Portland (16 miles west). A 25-mile radius around Westmoreland takes in 12 other municipalities. Gallatin, seat of Sumner County, lies 18 miles to the southwest. Part of Mammoth Cave National Park is within 44 miles of the town. The town spreads over 4.7 square miles of land, with roughly 612 people per square mile. A service area page that lists the towns you cover, from Westmoreland to Hartsville and Lafayette, answers the first question many customers have: do you come to me?

Westmoreland in figures

Before you publish: Tennessee and federal rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Tennessee rules as any other.

• 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
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• 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 Westmoreland, that means asking Sumner County and the Town of Westmoreland. Official source
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Tennessee sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in sales to Tennessee customers during the previous 12-month period (threshold cut from $500,000 to $100,000 effective October 1, 2020). Official source
