How Aria builds a Granite website

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. Everything is done online, so businesses in Granite get exactly the same plan as anyone else.

1. Register your business online in about 5 minutes; the logo, photos and texts you already have go 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.

Before you publish: Oregon and federal rules

These are some of the Oregon and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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
• 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.
