How Aria builds a Manton website

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. Everything is done online, so businesses in Manton get exactly the same plan as anyone else.

1. Register your business online in about 5 minutes; the logo, photos and texts you already have go by email.
2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.
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.
