Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.

How Aria builds a Newport website

Aria works from Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for businesses since 2008. We don’t have an office in Newport: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. Fill in the sign-up form (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and texts by email.
2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live 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: Kentucky and federal rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Kentucky 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
• Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Kentucky’s is 200 or more sales into Kentucky, or $100,000 or more in gross receipts from sales into Kentucky. Kentucky still keeps the 200-transaction test. KRS 139.340(2)(g)
