Oregon and federal rules for small business websites

Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to many Barlow businesses:

• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed business name (ABN). ORS Chapter 648 (Assumed Business Names); OAR 160.010
• Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.

How a website for $89 a month works

Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. There is no Aria office in Barlow, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

1. You sign up in about 5 minutes and email us your logo, photos and anything you want on the site.
2. Review the website on a temporary link, ready within 5 business days, and request any changes.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

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.
