Precipitation adds up to about 45 inches a year, falling on about 72 days with a tenth of an inch or more. About 34 days a year hit 90°F or more.

Seasonal updates helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

Buffalo in figures

A web designer’s view of Buffalo’s businesses

Buffalo shares ZIP code 65622 with the surrounding area, where 184 employer businesses were counted in 2023. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• 5 auto repair shops: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• 8 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 5 insurance agencies: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.

Dallas County as a whole had 267 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,574 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Dallas County leans toward trucking companies (16 establishments, three times the national share). For them, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Buffalo’s working residents are concentrated in construction (10.9%) and public administration (5.6%).

Rules that apply to a Buffalo business website

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

• 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
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
