Small business website, start to finish

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. We don’t have an office in Burlington: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

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

What Oklahoma asks of a business with a website

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

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
