California and federal rules for small business websites

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and most areas add district taxes of roughly 0.10% to 2.00% on top of it. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) exists, but its thresholds are high: For-profit businesses doing business in California that meet any one of three tests: gross annual revenue over $25 million; buying, selling or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more California residents or households; or deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information. A typical small business (a local service company with a brochure site or a small store) meets none of them and is outside the CCPA – but CalOPPA still requires a privacy policy (see outras_leis_site). California Civil Code, Title 1.81.5 (Civ. Code 1798.100 et seq.)
• Cities and counties issue the local business license or business tax certificate; the state’s CalGOLD tool lists the permits a given business needs at a given address. In Woodlake, that means asking Tulare County and the City of Woodlake. Official source

How Aria builds a Woodlake website

Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. We don’t have an office in Woodlake: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. Register your business online in about 5 minutes; the logo, photos and texts you already have go by email.
2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain.

Changes after launch go by email and are included, and so do quick questions.
