Web Design in Hornbeak, Tennessee

A town that keeps changing

Little has changed in the head count: 508 in 2020, 503 in 2025. That compares with +5.8% for Tennessee as a whole. When the population is steady, businesses grow by taking customers from competitors, and the website is often where that choice happens.

A web designer’s view of Hornbeak’s businesses

From the 2023 county count for Obion County:

• Hotels and motels, 12 in the count. What works online: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Insurance agencies, 12 in the count. What works online: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• Full-service restaurants, 20 in the count. What works online: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
• Auto repair shops, 7 in the count. What works online: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Child care centers, 7 in the count. What works online: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.

In Obion County, the Census counted 630 businesses with employees and 1,987 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are retail trade (19.7%), health care and social assistance (11.4%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (11.4%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Before you publish: Tennessee and federal rules

These are some of the Tennessee and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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 Hornbeak, that means asking Obion County and the Town of Hornbeak. 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
• 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)

General information, not legal advice: confirm the details with the agency that handles each item.
