Thames Centre is a homeowners’ town: 88.1% of households own, and most live in single-detached houses (88.9%). A website for a Thames Centre business has to work for neighbours who already know you and for people searching from further away. Aria builds the whole site for CA$119 a month, with your domain, business email and hosting, and you only pay after approving it.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.

- Farms and agricultural businesses (28 locations): seasonal opening times and where to buy their products.
- Repair and maintenance shops (29 locations): where to drop items off and turnaround times.

Paperwork and rules for Ontario businesses online
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few rules are worth checking:
- 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
- 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
