Chatham is a homeowners’ town: 95.5% of households own, and most live in single-detached houses (93.2%). A website for a Chatham business has to work for neighbours who already know you and for people searching from further away. Aria builds the whole site for CA$119 a month, with your domain, business email and hosting, and you only pay after approving it.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.
