How the CA$119 plan works

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. 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. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live 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.
