Small business websites in Dunbar: the local business mix

Dunbar shares ZIP code 15431 with the surrounding area, where 55 employer businesses were counted in 2023. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Full-service restaurants (3): the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

Fayette County as a whole had 2,485 employer establishments in 2023 and another 6,660 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Fayette County leans toward nursing and residential care facilities (72 establishments, 2.6 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. Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Dunbar typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Pennsylvania rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Pennsylvania’s is At least $100,000 in annual Pennsylvania gross sales, measured by calendar year; there is no transaction-count test. Sales and Use Tax Bulletin 2019-01; Act 13 of 2019
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Dunbar, that means asking Fayette County and the Borough of Dunbar. Official source
• 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
