A web designer’s view of Ellport’s businesses

The Census counted 297 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 16117, which includes Ellport and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• 10 landscaping companies: seasonal service menus, the neighborhoods you cover and photos of finished yards.
• 3 funeral homes: your services explained with care, contact information and directions.
• 4 beer, wine and liquor stores: store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
• 12 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 7 dental offices: the team, the treatments in plain words and a form that sends appointment requests to your email.

Lawrence County as a whole had 1,865 employer establishments in 2023 and another 5,331 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Lawrence County has 3.5 times the national share of metal fabrication shops: 42 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, buyers look for capabilities and tolerances, so the website should show capabilities, equipment, materials, certifications and a request-for-quote form. Religious, civic and membership organizations are also overrepresented (127, 1.8 times the national share).

Pennsylvania and federal rules for small business websites

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 Ellport, that means asking Lawrence County and the Borough of Ellport. 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

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