Floris’ small businesses and what their websites need

From the 2023 county count for Davis County:

• Site preparation contractors, 5 in the count. What works online: the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Insurance agencies, 5 in the count. What works online: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.

County-wide, Davis County counts 179 businesses with employees and 763 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). 17 specialty trade contractors operate in Davis County, 1.5 times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks; the website should give customers one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form.

From sign-up to a live website

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. Nobody from Aria will visit: material and questions travel by email, and you approve the website on a temporary link.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes.
2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

After it goes live, hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates stay with Aria, and content changes by email are included.
