A web designer’s view of Ripley’s businesses
The Census counted 99 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 62353, which includes Ripley and its surroundings. Among them:
- 3 auto repair shops: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
- 4 insurance agencies: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
- 4 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
County-wide, Brown County counts 108 businesses with employees and 345 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Other services (repair, personal care, organizations) accounts for 16.7% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of retail trade (13.9%) and accommodation and food services (9.3%).

Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
Some homework before launch:
- Brown County and the Village of Ripley may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. 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
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
