Morley is a place of young families: 21.4% of residents are under 15, against 15.8% across Ontario. A website for a Morley business has to work for neighbours who already know you and for people searching from further away. Aria builds the whole site for CA$119 a month, with your domain, business email and hosting, and you only pay after approving it.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.

What Ontario asks of a business online
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- The Ontario Business Registry lets businesses and not-for-profit corporations complete over 90 transactions online, including registering, incorporating and updating their information. Ontario Business Registry
- Since January 1, 2021, the AODA has required a business or non-profit organization with 50 or more employees to make its public websites accessible: web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, with some exceptions. Ontario.ca: accessible websites (AODA)
- PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA

Questions about a website for your Morley business
Morley is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from all over Rainy River District search before they drive in, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basic questions (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Most of my customers are seasonal. Is a website still worth it?
Yes. Send us the dates and hours for each season by email and we keep the site current; it is included in the plan.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes, an online store costs the same CA$119 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, cart and online payment.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
