The Fayetteville business count, sector by sector
Fayetteville shares ZIP code 62258 with the surrounding area, where 173 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:
- Full-service restaurants (7): a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
- Custom home builders (3): floor plans and photos of homes you have built, the lots or areas you build in and a way to start a conversation.
- Insurance agencies (4): auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
- Auto body shops (3): photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
In St. Clair County, the Census counted 4,973 businesses with employees and 17,284 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 105 clothing and accessories stores operate in St. Clair County, 1.4 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, shoppers browse before they visit; a good site gives customers new arrivals, brands, sizes and store hours, or an online store. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Fayetteville weather and a seasonal business
Fayetteville weather, in normals: July highs around 90°F, January lows around 24°F, measured at Belleville Siu Rsch, 10 miles away (1991-2020). About 43 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 53 days a year. Mild weather stretches the outdoor season: landscaping, outdoor dining and recreation stay busy for months. Update the homepage before your busy season: a short email with the new text is all it takes.

Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.
- 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 Fayetteville, that means asking St. Clair County and the Village of Fayetteville. Official source
- 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 splits the DBA filing: a sole proprietorship or general partnership registers the assumed business name with the county clerk, while a corporation, LLC or LLP registers an assumed name with the Secretary of State. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Illinois agencies, St. Clair County, the village of Fayetteville or an attorney.

Before you sign up: questions from Fayetteville
I work in Fayetteville and nearby towns. Can the website say that?
Yes. List Lenzburg, St. Libory, Venedy or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Do we need to have meetings?
No. Everything happens online and by email, from Curitiba, Brazil; you see the whole website on a temporary link before approving it.
Fayetteville is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than the village: St. Clair County has 17,284 nonemployer businesses and 4,973 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Fayetteville find you.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
