Web Design in Fenwood, Wisconsin

Affordable web design that starts with Fenwood itself

Fenwood has been around since 1891; that is more than a century of local history. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names are known, and the new ones have to explain themselves more clearly. New in town? Then the website has to do what years of reputation does for the older names: show the work, the people and the prices.

Wisconsin rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Wisconsin sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in gross sales into Wisconsin in the previous or current calendar year; the 200-transaction test was eliminated by 2021 Wis. Act 1. 2021 Wisconsin Act 1
• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
