Affordable web design for Turkey, done remotely

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

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
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.

Rules that apply to a Turkey business website

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

• North Carolina has no statewide general business license; some activities need a State Privilege License, and cities and counties may require their own licenses or permits, so check with the city and the county. In Turkey, that means asking Sampson County and the Town of Turkey. Official source
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• The general State sales and use tax rate is 4.75%, and counties add local and transit rates on top of it. North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR)
