Thayer dates from 1870, and its 427 residents live in a city with more than a century and a half of history. Web design in Thayer works best when it shows who is behind the business and what it has done.

No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website.

Thayer’s small businesses and what their websites need

Neosho County has, among its employer businesses:

  • 14 insurance agencies: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
  • 6 beer, wine and liquor stores: store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
  • 13 full-service restaurants: the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.
  • 6 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.

Across Neosho County, County Business Patterns counted 417 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,026 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners.

The trend since 2020 points down: 437 then, 427 in 2025. Kansas as a whole changed +1.3% in the same period. Without much growth, the customers are mostly the same people every year; the website is how they remember you.

Before you publish: Kansas and federal rules

These are some of the Kansas and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

  • 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
  • A contact form collects personal information, and Kansas has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. K.S.A. 50-7a02 (Security breach; requirements)

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.

How a website for $89 a month works

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. Nobody from Aria will visit: you send your material by email, and you approve the website on a temporary link.

  1. You sign up in about 5 minutes and email us your logo, photos and anything you want on the site.
  2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
  3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.
