Web Design in Lisle, Illinois

What makes Lisle different, and what your website should do about it

Lisle sits 3.4 miles east of Downers Grove, and 64.7% of its workers drive to work alone. A commuter village does its shopping research at night. A contact form that works after hours and an answer the next morning fit a commuter’s day better than a voicemail.

With Interstate 88 and Interstate 355 crossing the village limits, Lisle sees a steady flow of travelers. Highway traffic also brings freight: trucking, repair, towing and truck services work for customers from far away. Say which exit and how to get there from the highway on the contact page, and keep the hours right.

Who is searching in Lisle

7.6% of workers take public transportation to work. Customers who ride transit want to know the nearest stop and the walking route from it.

39.0% of the housing units are in buildings with five or more apartments. Apartment residents in Lisle search for movers, cleaners and repairs on a phone.

Illinois and federal rules for small business websites

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

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Illinois calls that an assumed business name, and it has to be registered first. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405
• Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue
• Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Lisle, that means asking DuPage County and the Village of Lisle. Official source
