Web Design in Hellertown, Pennsylvania

Why a Hellertown website can’t be generic

The borough of Hellertown has been around since 1742; that is more than two centuries of local history. Customers in an older borough often ask around first, and the website is where that recommendation gets checked. A short history of the business says more than any tagline.

Northampton County as a whole had 6,529 employer establishments in 2023 and another 21,753 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Retail trade accounts for 12.7% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.2%) and health care and social assistance (11.5%). 31.3% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 16.3% in retail trade. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

The legal basics for Hellertown businesses online

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

• 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
• 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 name customers see has to be your legal name or a fictitious name registered with Pennsylvania. Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Hellertown, that means asking Northampton County and the Borough of Hellertown. Official source
