Deseronto skews young: 18.9% of the population is under 15. A website for a Deseronto business has to work for neighbours who already know you and for people searching from further away. Aria designs your website for CA$119 a month: domain, email and hosting included, and nothing to pay until you approve it.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.

Paperwork and rules for Ontario businesses online
Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points often come up:
- In Ontario, you need to register your sole proprietorship if you are not using your own name as your business name, and a business name registration is valid for 5 years. Ontario.ca: business names
- Depending on what you do, you may need licences and permits to run your business under federal, provincial or municipal regulations. Ontario.ca: licences and permits
- 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
