Small business website, start to finish

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

1. Sign up online in about 5 minutes; the logo, photos and texts you already have go by email.
2. Within 5 business days you get a temporary link with the whole website, built with your logo, colors and photos.
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.

Kansas and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
