Lander, WY: the local picture for your website

Mining, oil and gas matter in Fremont County: 36 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, far more than the national share. Energy work brings contractors, trucking, equipment rental and housing demand that rise and fall with the industry. Safety credentials and certifications belong on a contractor’s website, not just mentioned on the phone.

Lander is the seat of Fremont County, which puts the courthouse and county offices in town. People who drive in from elsewhere in the county plan the trip in advance, often the night before. If you handle county paperwork, say which kinds, in plain words.

Reading the Lander customer

36.5% of workers are employed by a federal, state or local government (22.0% in Wyoming). Public employees keep regular hours, and many book services around them. Only 45.6% of residents were born in Wyoming; 52.5% came from another state, most often from the West. Without a website, a business is invisible to the people who arrived last year.

27.1% of residents are under 18. Busy families decide quickly, so the website has to answer the basic questions fast.

6.0% of workers walk to their jobs. Walk-in customers decide on the spot, often after checking hours on a phone at the door.

What Wyoming asks of a business with a website

A few rules apply to any Lander business that sells or advertises online:

• 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
• The name customers see must match your legal name or a trade name registered with Wyoming. W.S. 40-2-101 through 40-2-109
