Why a Globe website can’t be generic

Globe is the seat of Gila County, so the county courthouse and county offices are here. 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 county paperwork, list those services one by one, without jargon.

How Aria builds a Globe website

1. Fill in the sign-up form (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and texts by email.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published 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.

Arizona rules to know before your website goes live

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• A business that owns or licenses unencrypted computerized personal information about Arizona residents must investigate a suspected breach and, once a breach is confirmed, notify affected individuals within 45 days. A.R.S. 18-552 (Notification of security system breaches)
• 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
