Paperwork and rules for Ontario businesses online

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Ontario:

• Since January 1, 2021, the AODA has required a business or non-profit organization with 50 or more employees to make its public websites accessible: web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, with some exceptions. Ontario.ca: accessible websites (AODA)
• 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
• An online transaction worth more than $50 is covered by Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, and the business must disclose certain information to the customer before the transaction is completed. Ontario.ca: online shopping

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.

2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 business days.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first CA$119 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
