Web Design in Clayton, Kansas

The Clayton business count, sector by sector

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

• Child care centers, 6 in the count. What works online: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.
• Insurance agencies, 7 in the count. What works online: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• Full-service restaurants, 5 in the count. What works online: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.

In Norton County, the Census counted 169 businesses with employees and 412 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are health care and social assistance (14.8%), retail trade (12.4%) and construction (11.2%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

The legal basics for Clayton businesses online

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Kansas rules as any other.

• A business that owns or licenses computerized data with personal information must investigate any security breach and, if misuse has occurred or is reasonably likely, notify the affected Kansas residents as soon as possible. K.S.A. 50-7a02 (Security breach; requirements)
• 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.
