The Census counted 643 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 40220, which includes Cambridge and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Insurance agencies (25): the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• Beauty salons (17): services with prices, photos of real work, the stylists and the hours.
• Quick-service restaurants (29): today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• Dental offices (22): insurance plans, new-patient information and a map to the office.
• Beer, wine and liquor stores (6): store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.

In Jefferson County, the Census counted 20,164 businesses with employees and 70,600 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 691 insurance agencies operate in Jefferson County, 1.7 times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, people compare agents before a renewal or a big purchase; the website should give customers the lines you write, the carriers you represent and a quote request form. Warehousing and storage operators are also overrepresented (90, 1.8 times the national share).

Your website for $89 a month, step by step

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. There is no Aria office in Cambridge, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes.
2. Within 5 business days you get a temporary link with the whole website, built on a proven template with your brand.
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.

Before you publish: Kentucky and federal rules

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

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue

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