How Aria builds a Lamar website

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. We don’t have an office in Lamar: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. You sign up in about 5 minutes and email us your logo, photos and anything you want on the site.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

Changes after launch go by email and are included, and so do quick questions.

What Colorado asks of a business with a website

These are some of the Colorado and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• Colorado trade names are filed with the Secretary of State (not a county), and they must be renewed periodically. Official source

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
