• 4 engineering firms: your disciplines, project examples and a contact form for owners and contractors.
• 10 real estate offices: market areas, how you work with buyers and sellers and a contact form.
• 4 dental offices: the treatments you offer, a map to the office and a contact form, written in plain words for nervous patients.
• 8 quick-service restaurants: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

Frederick County as a whole had 6,591 employer establishments in 2023 and another 25,963 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all.

The jobs New Market residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (27.5%) and professional, management and administrative services (13.9%).

What Maryland asks of a business with a website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Maryland’s sales and use tax rate is 6% (6 cents on each dollar). There are no local sales taxes in Maryland. Comptroller of Maryland
• The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) rarely reaches a local business: Businesses doing business in Maryland or targeting Maryland residents that, in the preceding calendar year, controlled or processed the personal data of at least 35,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of at least 10,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from selling personal data. Maryland’s 35,000-consumer threshold is the lowest in the country, so a small business with a real Maryland customer base can be caught — a local service business or small store usually stays below it, but a site with tens of thousands of Maryland visitors whose data it processes should check. Md. Code, Commercial Law §§14-4701 et seq., Subtitle 47 (SB 541 / HB 567, 2024)
