Small business website advice, Post edition
Mining, oil and gas account for 18.6% of the employer establishments in Garza County, far more than the national share. Field crews need lodging, food and repairs fast. Certifications belong on a contractor’s website, in writing.
Post is a bilingual market: Spanish is spoken at home by 39.1% of residents, and 60.7% speak only English. In a bilingual market, a website that shows the essentials at a glance (what you do, where, how to get in touch) works for every visitor. Short sentences, clear service names and good photos lower the barrier for everyone. That does not take a big website. It takes one that answers the right questions, kept up to date.
Weather in Post: plan the website around it
By the 1991-2020 normals of the Post weather station (0.7 miles from Post), July highs average 95°F and January lows average 29°F. Rain adds up to about 22 inches a year, falling on about 35 days with a tenth of an inch or more. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 68 times a year. Heat sets the rhythm: outdoor work starts early, afternoons belong to indoor activities, and the hottest weeks bring urgent searches. Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.
Who you compete with in Post
The Census counted 122 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 79356, which includes Post and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:
- Site preparation contractors: 4. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
- Beer, wine and liquor stores: 3. Their website should show store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
- Hotels and motels: 3. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
- Quick-service restaurants: 5. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
County-wide, Garza County counts 129 businesses with employees and 337 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Garza County has far more than the national share of oilfield and mining support companies: 17 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, field crews and operators hire on short notice, so the website should show services by type, equipment, certifications and the area you cover. 17.2% of employed residents work in agriculture, forestry, fishing and mining, and 8.2% in construction. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Post.

What Texas asks of a business with a website
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Texas rules as any other.
- The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) rarely reaches a local business: The chapter reaches a person who does business in Texas or sells products or services consumed by Texans, processes or sells personal data, and is NOT a small business under the United States Small Business Administration definition. A typical small business is therefore outside the main obligations, but Section 541.107 still applies to it: a small business may not sell sensitive personal data without the consumer’s prior consent. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 541 (HB 4, 88th Legislature, 2023)
- Garza County and the City of Post may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
- 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
- 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
