Elgin, NB: the place behind the numbers

Three steps to a website for your Elgin business
Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. Every step happens online, so an Elgin business pays the same CA$119 a month as anyone else in Canada.
- Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
- You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
- When you are happy with it, you approve, the first CA$119 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.
- A business website or an online store, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you pick one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and a daily backup
- Text, photo and price updates whenever you email us
- Ready within 3 business days on a temporary link
Rules to know before your Elgin website goes live
Some homework for Elgin businesses before the website goes live:
- PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation

Elgin website questions, answered
Elgin is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than the municipality. People across Albert County look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
Can the website show seasonal hours?
Yes. The site can show your hours and services for each season, and you update them by email when they change.
What about my domain name?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
What if I need to change something later?
Our team does it for you: email what needs changing and we take care of it, along with hosting, SSL and backups.
What do I need to send?
A logo, some photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.
How long until my website is ready?
The first version is ready within 3 business days, on a temporary link. Publication on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
What is the website built on?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and maintained by us: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website. No long-term contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
