Lynd’s small businesses and what their websites need

Some of the business types in Lyon County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• 5 golf courses and country clubs: the course, rates you choose to publish, events and a contact form.
• 13 auto repair shops: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• 21 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
• 13 child care centers: programs by age, daily routine, your hours and a form for families who want to visit.
• 5 sporting goods stores: the brands you carry, store hours and an online store if you want to sell beyond the counter.

In Lyon County, the Census counted 814 businesses with employees and 1,840 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 45 nursing and residential care facilities operate in Lyon County, about five times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, families research care for a relative; the website should give customers levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

The legal basics for Lynd businesses online

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

• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance

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