Whitehall up close: notes for a small business website

The county government of Trempealeau County sits in Whitehall, and that brings in people from the whole county. County business sustains a ring of law offices, title companies, surveyors, insurance agents and accountants around the courthouse, and most of them compete on trust. If you handle court, property or other county matters, list those services one by one, in plain words.

How Aria builds a Whitehall website

The team behind this page is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for businesses since 2008. Nobody from Aria will visit: material and questions travel by email, and you approve the website on a temporary link.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes, and send your material by email.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain.

Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.

Wisconsin rules to know before your website goes live

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

• A contact form collects personal information, and Wisconsin has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Wis. Stat. Section 134.98
• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
