Havana dates from 1887, and its 64 residents live in a city with more than a century of history. Web design in Havana works best when it shows who is behind the business and what it has done. A small business website in Havana can start without a big invoice: Aria builds it for $89 a month, domain and email included, and bills the first month only after your approval.
No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website.

Seasons in Havana, and what they do to your website
Havana weather, in normals: July highs around 81°F, January lows around -1°F, measured at Forman, 5.6 miles away (1991-2020). About 23 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 178 times a year. Cold winters mean heating calls, snow plowing and winter car trouble, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. A website that changes with the season help: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

Before you publish: North Dakota and federal rules
A few rules apply to any Havana business that sells or advertises online:
- Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; North Dakota’s is Taxable sales into North Dakota exceed $100,000 in the current or previous calendar year (small seller exception below that). The 200-transaction test was repealed in 2019. Official source
- North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the North Dakota agencies, Sargent County, the city of Havana or an attorney.
