Web Design in Cassville, Missouri

What a web designer should know about Cassville

Cassville dates from 1845, so it has more than a century and a half of local history behind it. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names are known, and the new ones have to explain themselves more clearly. An About page with names, dates and faces carries more weight here than a list of adjectives.

What Missouri asks of a business with a website

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

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• 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
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
