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

• Chiropractic offices (18): what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.
• Auto repair shops (21): a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.

From sign-up to a live website

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. There is no Aria office in Welton, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes, and send your material by email.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain.

After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.

Iowa rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
• 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
