Designing for Mayfield Heights: the facts that matter

Remote work is widespread in Mayfield Heights: 19.2% of employed residents work from home. People working from home run errands at lunch and book services from the same laptop they work on. Daytime appointments, clear prices and an email that gets answered suit this audience; say how you schedule work. That does not take a big website. It takes one that answers the right questions, with the details right.

Only 12 miles from Cleveland, Mayfield Heights is a city of commuters: the average trip to work takes 22.1 minutes. A commuter city researches at night and calls in the morning. Say clearly that you are local and list the neighborhoods you cover; it is the edge you have over the big city. That is the work a small business website does well: answering the first questions before anyone has to ask.

Ohio and federal rules for small business websites

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

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Ohio sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Gross receipts greater than $100,000 OR at least 200 transactions in the current or previous calendar year (in effect since August 1, 2019). Am. Sub. H.B. 166 (2019)
• Ohio’s state sales tax rate is 5.75%. Counties and regional transit authorities may each levy sales tax in increments of 0.05% up to 1.5%, and the combined state, county and transit rate cannot exceed 8.75%. Ohio Department of Taxation
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
