A web designer’s view of Arco’s businesses
Across Lincoln County, County Business Patterns counts, among others:
- Grocery stores (6): store hours, departments and weekly specials you post by email to us.
- Insurance agencies (6): auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
- Full-service restaurants (6): the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.
County-wide, Lincoln County counts 183 businesses with employees and 541 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Lincoln County leans toward trucking companies (15 establishments, four times the national share). In that business, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

Minnesota and federal rules for small business websites
Some homework before launch:
- Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
- A contact form collects personal information, and Minnesota has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Minn. Stat. 325E.61
Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
