How Aria builds your Nain website

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. The plan is the same in Nain as in any other town in Canada: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. 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.
