A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, requested by email at no extra charge.

What kind of businesses Faxon has

Some of the business types in Comanche County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Quick-service restaurants: 92. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• Child care centers: 42. Their website should show the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 34. Their website should show the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.
• New car dealers: 12. Their website should show brand pages, service department hours and contact forms for sales and service.

In Comanche County, the Census counted 2,133 businesses with employees and 6,000 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 63 specialty retailers operate in Comanche County, 2.1 times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, shoppers look for something specific; a good site gives customers what you carry, photos of the shop, hours and an online store if you ship. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Paperwork and rules for Oklahoma businesses online

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
• A business entity doing business in Oklahoma under a name other than its legal name files a Trade Name Report with the Secretary of State ($25). ‘Business entity’ includes any unincorporated business, so an individual operating under a trade name files it with their own legal name as the legal name. Title 18, Section 1140, Oklahoma Statutes

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