When New Site customers need you: the seasons

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Alexander City weather station (11 miles from New Site), July highs average 91°F and January lows average 32°F. About 57 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in January. About 62 days a year hit 90°F or more. With this much rain, roofing, gutters and drainage work never run out of calls, often after a storm. Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.

Reading the New Site customer

Most of New Site is homegrown: 94.7% of residents were born in Alabama. Reputation travels by word of mouth here, and the website is where a recommendation gets checked.

Residents spend an average of 31.1 minutes getting to work. A website that answers questions after hours is more useful to them than an office phone.

New Site by the numbers

The population has barely moved since 2020: 773 then, 780 in 2025. The state’s figure for the same years was +3.3%. Without much growth, the customers are mostly the same people every year; the website is how they remember you.

Tallapoosa County as a whole had 823 employer establishments in 2023 and another 2,827 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Tallapoosa County has 2.5 times the national share of vehicle dealers: 30 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shoppers browse inventory and compare prices online, so the website should show inventory, financing information as allowed by law, service department hours and directions.

Paperwork and rules for Alabama businesses online

These are some of the Alabama and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• Alabama business privilege licenses are issued at county level; the state Department of Revenue coordinates state and county business privilege licenses, and the county probate office issues them. In New Site, that means asking Tallapoosa County and the Town of New Site. Official source
• Alabama’s state sales and use tax rate on general merchandise is 4%, with a reduced 2% rate on food and groceries since September 1, 2025; cities and counties add their own rates. Alabama Department of Revenue
