How the £69 plan works

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Fill in the sign-up form at cadastro.ariaserv.com; it takes about 5 minutes.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
