Colwyn’s small businesses and what their websites need

ZIP code 19023, which covers Colwyn and the area around it, had 300 business establishments with employees in 2023. A few examples from the same count:

• 9 cleaning services: residential and commercial pages, how pricing works and a short contact form.
• 11 auto repair shops: the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
• 15 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 10 child care centers: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.
• 11 physician practices: the doctors, the specialties, the insurance you accept and a contact form for new patients.

Delaware County as a whole had 13,165 employer establishments in 2023 and another 48,409 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Delaware County leans toward nursing and residential care facilities (273 establishments, 1.8 times the national share). In that business, families research care for a relative, and the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. Social assistance and child care providers are also overrepresented (474, 1.5 times the national share). 38.1% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 16.0% in transportation, warehousing and utilities. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Before you publish: Pennsylvania and federal rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Pennsylvania rules as any other.

• 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
• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Colwyn, that means asking Delaware County and the Borough of Colwyn. Official source
