What Georgia asks of a business with a website
Some homework before launch:
- Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Georgia calls that a trade name (DBA), and it has to be registered first. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
- Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
A web designer for Carlton businesses, working online
Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. Nobody from Aria will visit: you send your material by email, and you approve the website on a temporary link.

- Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
- Ask for adjustments by email, approve, and after the first monthly fee the site goes live on your domain.
Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.
- Business website or online store, same price
- Your domain, registered and renewed by us (or the one you already have)
- Business email on your domain: 5 GB, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, SSL certificate and daily backups

- Ready within 5 business days on a temporary link
Questions from Carlton business owners
Do you have an office in Carlton?
No. Everything happens online and by email, from Curitiba, Brazil; you see the whole website on a temporary link before approving it.
Can the website mention Elberton, Colbert and the other towns I cover?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Elberton, Colbert, Danielsville or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
I just opened in Carlton. Is it too early for a website?
No. A new business is the one people know least about, and the website is where they check you out. Start with the basics (services, area, contact) and add photos as you go, by email.
My customers come from all over Madison County. Can the website say that?
Yes. A service area page can cover every part of Madison County you serve.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
