How Aria builds a Southwest City website

Aria works from Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for small businesses since 2008. We don’t have an office in Southwest City: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. The sign-up at cadastro.ariaserv.com/en takes about 5 minutes; your logo and photos go by email.
2. Review the website on a temporary link, ready within 5 business days, and request any changes by email.
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.
