Small business website questions from Chignik
With 87 people in Chignik, is a website worth the money?
Your market is bigger than the city: Lake and Peninsula Borough has 226 nonemployer businesses and 57 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Chignik find you.
Do we need to have meetings?
No visits: Aria works remotely from Curitiba, Brazil. You send your logo, photos and texts by email, and approve the website on a temporary link.

The first version is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link. Publication on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
