A web designer’s view of Alvin’s businesses

From the 2023 county count for Vermilion County:

• Funeral homes: 9. Their website should show your services explained with care, contact information and directions.
• New car dealers: 7. Their website should show brand pages, service department hours and contact forms for sales and service.
• Quick-service restaurants: 49. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• Beer, wine and liquor stores: 15. Their website should show store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
• Child care centers: 13. Their website should show programs by age, daily routine, your hours and a form for families who want to visit.

In Vermilion County, the Census counted 1,300 businesses with employees and 4,008 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Vermilion County has three times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 43 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. Religious, civic and membership organizations are also overrepresented (94, twice the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

How Aria builds an Alvin website

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. We don’t have an office in Alvin: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes, and send your material 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. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

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

Illinois rules to know before your website goes live

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

• 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 Alvin, that means asking Vermilion County and the Village of Alvin. 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; check with the Illinois agencies, Vermilion County, the village of Alvin or an attorney.
