Maud up close: notes for a small business website
Mining, oil and gas are a real industry here: 24 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, about seven times the national share. Energy work creates demand for contractors, trucking and repair that moves with the industry. Certifications belong on a contractor’s website, in writing.
Hot months, wet months: Maud through the year
Maud weather, in normals: July highs around 95°F, January lows around 26°F, measured at Seminole, 9.8 miles away (1991-2020). About 43 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 79 times a year.

The Maud business count, sector by sector
The Census counted 20 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 74854, which includes Maud and its surroundings.
Pottawatomie County as a whole had 1,253 employer establishments in 2023 and another 4,877 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Pottawatomie County has about nine times the national share of oilfield and mining support companies: 15 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, field crews and operators hire on short notice, so the website should show services by type, equipment, certifications and the area you cover.
The legal basics for Maud businesses online
Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

Maud web design FAQ
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 (Oklahoma’s state rate is 4.5%, and local taxes may apply).
Will my website work on phones?
Yes, the layout adapts to phones and tablets. That matters in Maud, where 26.1% of households get online only through a cellphone data plan.
Will people in Brooksville and Lima see that I work there too?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Brooksville and Lima included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
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.
