Web Design in Frankfort, Kansas

A small business website that fits Frankfort

In Frankfort, 10.0% of workers walk to their jobs and 0.0% take public transportation, far above most of the state. In a dense, walkable place, location and hours matter as much as price. Hours have to be right, because people walk over after checking them.

The Frankfort business count, sector by sector

ZIP code 66427, which covers Frankfort and the area around it, had 44 business establishments with employees in 2023. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (4): the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.

Marshall County as a whole had 364 employer establishments in 2023 and another 773 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Marshall County has three times the national share of vehicle dealers: 16 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shoppers browse inventory and compare prices online, so the website should show inventory, financing information as allowed by law, service department hours and directions. Frankfort’s working residents are concentrated in manufacturing (21.1%) and construction (7.2%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

The Frankfort climate, from a business owner’s view

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Marysville, is 15 miles from Frankfort. It records an average high of 90°F in July and an average low of 15°F in January. Precipitation totals about 34 inches a year, with June the wettest month. About 46 days a year hit 90°F or more. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, yard work and construction once it thaws. A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, requested by email at no extra charge.

Kansas rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Kansas sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $100,000 of cumulative gross receipts from sales to customers in Kansas in the current or immediately preceding calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. K.S.A. 79-3702(h)
