How Aria builds a West Point website

Aria is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for small businesses since 2008. We don’t have an office in West Point: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. Sign up online in about 5 minutes; the logo, photos and texts you already have go by email.
2. We build it with your brand on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 5 business days.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.
