A web designer’s view of Kampsville’s businesses
From the 2023 county count for Calhoun County:
- Full-service restaurants, 9 in the count. What works online: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
In Calhoun County, the Census counted 77 businesses with employees and 305 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Calhoun County has 2.6 times the national share of restaurants and bars: 17 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, diners check menus, hours and location before they go, so the website should show the menu, hours, location and photos of the food and the room. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Kampsville.

What Illinois asks of a business with a website
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Illinois rules as any other.
- 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 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 Kampsville, that means asking Calhoun County and the Village of Kampsville. Official source
- Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316

Before you sign up: questions from Kampsville
Is a website worth it for a business in a village of 294 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Calhoun County counts 305 nonemployer businesses and 77 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Kampsville is the point of the website.
Can the website mention Hillview, Hardin and the other towns I cover?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Hillview and Hardin included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Can the website say I serve the whole of Calhoun County?
Yes. A service area page can cover every part of Calhoun County you serve.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes. The plan can be an online store with a catalog, shopping cart and online payment, for the same $89 a month. Collecting sales tax is your responsibility: Illinois’ state rate is 6.2%, and local taxes may apply.
