Rules that apply to an Atlanta business website

Some homework before launch:

• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
