How Aria builds a Ruleville website

The team behind this page is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for small businesses since 2008. There is no Aria office in Ruleville, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

  1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes, and send your material by email.
  2. Within 5 business days you get a temporary link with the whole website, built with your logo, colors and photos.
  3. Only after you approve do you pay the first monthly fee; then the site is published on your domain.

Changes after launch go by email and are included, and so do quick questions.

Before you publish: Mississippi and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

  • Mississippi’s regular retail sales tax rate is 7%. Groceries dropped to 5% on July 1, 2025. Local add-ons exist only at the city level: Tupelo adds 0.25% and Jackson adds 1% on certain sales. A sales tax permit from the Department of Revenue is required before doing business, one per location. Mississippi Department of Revenue
  • If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316

Ruleville web design FAQ

Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 2,278 people?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Sunflower County counts 1,898 nonemployer businesses and 406 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Ruleville is the point of the website.

Can my hours and prices change with the season?

Yes. Send the new hours, prices or seasonal services by email; content changes are part of the $89 monthly fee.

Can the website be an online store?

Yes. An online store with catalog, cart and online payment costs the same $89 a month as a regular website; sales tax is yours to collect (Mississippi’s state rate is 7%, and local taxes may apply).

Can my website list the towns around Ruleville that I serve?

Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Boyle, Cleveland, Drew or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.

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.
