Affordable web design that starts with Ainsworth itself
Ainsworth dates from 1858, which gives it more than a century and a half of local history. Long-established places reward businesses that look established too: people want to know who they are dealing with and how long the business has been open. New in town? Then the website has to do what word of mouth does for the older names: explain exactly what you do and for whom.

What Iowa asks of a business with a website
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to many Ainsworth businesses:
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect Iowa sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $100,000 or more in gross revenue from Iowa sales in the immediately preceding or the current calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. Iowa Code 423.14A(3)(a)
- Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
