A small business website that fits Palco
Mining, oil and gas account for 9.1% of the employer establishments in Rooks County, far more than the national share. Crews from out of town look for services from a phone, on short notice. Say clearly the area you cover, what equipment you run and how to request work.
The Palco business count, sector by sector
Across Rooks County, County Business Patterns counts, among others:
- 5 auto repair shops: the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
- 10 full-service restaurants: the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.
Rooks County as a whole had 165 employer establishments in 2023 and another 533 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are retail trade (13.3%), other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.7%) and construction (9.7%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Palco by the numbers
When Palco customers need you: the seasons
Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Plainville, 9.8 miles away, put the July average high at 91°F and the January average low at 17°F. Rain adds up to about 26 inches a year, falling on about 46 days with a tenth of an inch or more. About 57 days a year hit 90°F or more. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, landscaping and outdoor work the rest of the year. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.

Running a website from Palco: the Kansas rules
A few rules apply to any Palco business that sells or advertises online:
- 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)
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.

Questions from Palco business owners
Can I tell customers in Plainville that I serve their town?
Yes. List Zurich, Plainville, Hill City or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
Can I mention that we serve military families?
Yes. Any offer or detail you want to show goes on the website as text you send by email.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; Kansas’ state rate is 6.5%, and local taxes may apply.
Does a small business in Palco need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Rooks County counts 533 nonemployer businesses and 165 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Palco is the point of the website.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
