A web designer’s view of Early’s businesses

Early shares ZIP code 76802 with the surrounding area, where 124 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

  • Hotels and motels: 4. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
  • Quick-service restaurants: 6. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
  • Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 3. Their website should show the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.

Across Brown County, County Business Patterns counted 885 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 2,879 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Brown County has 3.1 times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 31 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 59 of them, at 1.8 times the national share. The jobs Early residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (24.3%) and manufacturing (11.7%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Rules that apply to an Early business website

These are some of the Texas and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

  • 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 Early, that means asking Brown County and the City of Early. Official source
  • 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
  • Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Texas agencies, Brown County, the city of Early or an attorney.
