A web designer for Cocoa businesses, working online

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. We work with businesses remotely, so a company in Cocoa gets the same plan, at $89 a month, without meetings or visits.

2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.

After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.

The legal basics for Cocoa businesses online

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Florida rules as any other.

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• If personal information of Florida residents is exposed in a breach, the business must notify the people affected no later than 30 days after it determines the breach occurred (Section 501.171, Florida Statutes). Section 501.171, Florida Statutes (Florida Information Protection Act of 2014)
• Brevard County and the City of Cocoa may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Brevard County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.0% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
