How Aria builds a Blue Mountain website

Aria is a web design company based in Curitiba, Brazil, building websites, online stores and business email since 2008. We don’t have an office in Blue Mountain: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. You sign up in about 5 minutes and email us your logo, photos and anything you want on the site.
2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.
3. Approve it: the first monthly fee is issued and your domain starts showing the new site.

Changes after launch go by email and are included, and so do quick questions.
