Hiring a web designer for your Andover business, without the meetings

Aria has built websites since 2008 and is based in Curitiba, Brazil. We don’t have an office in Andover: 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. Approve it, pay the first month, and the website goes live on your domain together with your business email.

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.

Iowa rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Andover businesses:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Iowa sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $100,000 or more in gross revenue from Iowa sales in the immediately preceding or the current calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. Iowa Code 423.14A(3)(a)
• Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
