Before you publish: Wyoming and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• Wyoming charges a mandatory statewide 4% sales and use tax, and counties may add voter-approved local pennies, so the total rate runs roughly from 4% to 8%. Wyoming Department of Revenue, Excise Tax Division
