• Custom home builders: 20. Their website should show floor plans and photos of homes you have built, the lots or areas you build in and a way to start a conversation.
• Full-service restaurants: 53. Their website should show the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

Illinois and federal rules for small business websites

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

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Illinois’ is $100,000 or more in cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property to Illinois purchasers in the 12-month lookback period, tested quarterly. The old 200-transaction test was removed on January 1, 2026. Public Act 104-0006 (Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act)
• 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 Plainville, that means asking Adams County and the Village of Plainville. 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

How Aria builds a Plainville website

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. We don’t have an office in Plainville: 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. Review the website on a temporary link, ready within 5 business days, and request any changes by email.
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.
