Web Design in Eagle Pass, Texas

Small business website advice, Eagle Pass edition

The county government of Maverick County sits in Eagle Pass, and that brings in people from the whole county. People who drive in from smaller towns plan the trip in advance, often the night before. If you handle court, property or other county matters, say which kinds, without jargon. Most of this is written once and kept current, which is precisely what the monthly changes by email are for.

Eagle Pass is a city of families: 30.5% of residents are children or teenagers, and the average household has 3.1 people. Parents decide fast, from the car or the sidelines, and they look for three things: hours, cost and trust. Make the contact form short: a few fields are plenty.

Eagle Pass goes back to 1850, which gives it more than a century and a half of local history behind it. The city also keeps sister-city ties with Pachuca (Mexico). History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names are known, and the new ones have to explain themselves faster. Put the year you opened and the names of the people behind it on the About page; a photo of the actual storefront or crew beats any stock image.

In that trade, carriers and shippers need fast answers; a good site gives customers services, locations, hours and a way to request service.

Running a website from Eagle Pass: the Texas rules

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to many Eagle Pass businesses:

• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed name certificate (DBA). Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Eagle Pass, that means asking Maverick County and the City of Eagle Pass. Official source
