Web design in York: frequent questions
York is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than the municipality. People across Queens County look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
What do I need to send?
Your logo, a few photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.
What is the website built on?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and looked after by our team: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Does the plan include business email?
Email on your own domain comes with the plan, such as info@yourbusiness: unlimited accounts, 5 GB of storage in total, webmail and spam filtering.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you review the website on a temporary link before anything is published.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website. No long-term contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
