How Aria builds a Canton website

Aria is a web design company from Curitiba, Brazil, working since 2008. There is no Aria office in Canton, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

After launch, changes to text, photos and prices are requested by email and are part of the monthly fee; quick questions go by email too.
