Running a website from Gilbert: the Louisiana rules

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

  • A trade name is registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State. A trade name identifies the business itself, which is different from a DBA used by an already registered entity. La. R.S. 51:211 et seq.

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.

Before you sign up: questions from Gilbert

With 436 people in Gilbert, is a website worth the money?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Franklin Parish counts 1,618 nonemployer businesses and 408 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Gilbert is the point of the website.

Can my hours and prices change with the season?

Yes. A short email with the new text is enough, and the change is included in the plan.

Can the website be an online store?

Yes. An online store with catalog, cart and online payment costs the same $89 a month as a regular website; sales tax is yours to collect (Louisiana’s state rate is 5%, and local taxes may apply).

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.
