Some of the business types in Brown County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Chiropractic offices, 11 in the count. What works online: what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.

• Quick-service restaurants, 30 in the count. What works online: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

Brown County as a whole had 1,245 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,088 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Brown County has 2.4 times the national share of nondurable goods wholesalers: 42 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, so the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

How Aria builds a Verdon website

Aria works from Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for businesses since 2008. We work with businesses remotely, so a company in Verdon gets the same plan, at $89 a month, without meetings or visits.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes.
2. Review the website on a temporary link, ready within 5 business days, and request any changes by email.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.

South Dakota rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Verdon businesses:

• South Dakota’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.2%, and municipalities add their own sales tax on top of it. South Dakota Department of Revenue
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
