A CA$119 website, step by step

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Every step happens online, so a Point Edward business gets the same plan as anyone.

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
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.

What Ontario asks of a business online

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

• 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
• PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
• 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
• Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
