A web designer’s view of Amenia’s businesses
Some of the business types in Cass County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:
- Chiropractic offices, 60 in the count. What works online: what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.
- Cleaning services, 82 in the count. What works online: what is included in each type of cleaning, the towns you serve and a contact form.
- Beauty salons, 91 in the count. What works online: services with prices, photos of real work, the stylists and the hours.
- Residential property managers, 68 in the count. What works online: the services for owners, the areas you manage and a contact form for owners and tenants.
- Child care centers, 97 in the count. What works online: the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
In Cass County, the Census counted 5,988 businesses with employees and 15,228 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Cass County has 1.6 times the national share of durable goods wholesalers: 262 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, trade buyers want catalogs and terms, so the website should show product lines, brands carried, service area and how to open an account.

Website design Amenia: start with the customer
Cass County: 201,794 residents (2025) in 27 incorporated places.

North Dakota and federal rules for small business websites
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same North Dakota rules as any other.
- North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
- Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465

Before you sign up: questions from Amenia
Can the website mention Ayr, Mapleton and the other towns I cover?
Yes. List Ayr, Mapleton, Arthur or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
With 90 people in Amenia, is a website worth the money?
Your market is bigger than the city: Cass County has 15,228 nonemployer businesses and 5,988 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Amenia find you.
Do I need to buy a domain first?
If your business already owns a domain, we point it to the new website; if not, we register one for you and renew it while you are a client.
What if I need to change prices later?
Email the new list and it goes on the website; content changes are included.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
