About 41 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in July. Expect about 30 inches of snow in a typical year. About 13 days a year hit 90°F or more.

Which Akron businesses need a small business website

The Census counted 58 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 46910, which includes Akron and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Auto body shops (3): photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
• Grocery stores (3): store hours, departments and weekly specials you post by email to us.

Across Fulton County, County Business Patterns counted 465 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,355 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. One sector stands out in Fulton County: religious, civic and membership organizations, with 44 establishments and 2.6 times the national share. What works for them online: meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Next on the list: vehicle dealers, 16 of them, at 2.4 times the national share. 10.5% of employed residents work in arts, entertainment, recreation, lodging and food service, and 7.1% in retail trade.

Indiana rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Akron businesses:

• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
