Web Design in Kingston Springs, Tennessee

Why a Kingston Springs website can’t be generic

Cheatham County counts 4,028 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners, next to 714 with employees. Solo owners compete on trust with bigger firms, and a proper website levels much of that field. Put your name and photo on the website: solo businesses sell the person.

With Interstate 40 crossing the town limits, Kingston Springs sees traffic from far beyond Cheatham County. Highway traffic also brings freight: trucking, repair, towing and truck services serve people who will never live in Kingston Springs. A page with the services, the hours and a map is what a traveler needs. The site is where all of this becomes a phone call or an email, so it pays to get the basics right.

Rules that apply to a Kingston Springs business website

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 Kingston Springs, that means asking Cheatham County and the Town of Kingston Springs. Official source
• 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
• The Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: 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)
• 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
