Calvin dates from 1905, and its 15 residents live in a city with more than a century of history. Web design in Calvin should show who is behind the business and what it has done. Aria builds and hosts the website for $89 a month, domain and business email included; within 5 business days it is ready on a temporary link, and you pay only after you approve it.
No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website.

Questions we hear about websites in Calvin
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 15 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Cavalier County counts 331 nonemployer businesses and 135 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Calvin is the point of the website.
Can the website be an online store?
Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; North Dakota’s state rate is 5%, and local taxes may apply.
Will someone from Aria visit my business in Calvin?
No visits: Aria works remotely from Curitiba, Brazil. You send your logo, photos and texts by email, and approve the website on a temporary link.
Can I show customers in Sarles that I cover their area?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Sarles, Hannah, Rocklake and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
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.
