How a website for $89 a month works

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. Everything is done online, so businesses in Caledonia get exactly the same plan as anyone else.

1. The sign-up at cadastro.ariaserv.com/en takes about 5 minutes; your logo and photos go by email.
2. Within 5 business days the website is ready on a temporary link, and you review it and ask for changes.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website 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.

What Illinois asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Illinois’ is $100,000 or more in cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property to Illinois purchasers in the 12-month lookback period, tested quarterly. The old 200-transaction test was removed on January 1, 2026. Public Act 104-0006 (Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act)
• Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Caledonia, that means asking Boone County and the Village of Caledonia. Official source
