Designing for Colony: the facts that matter
Mining, oil and gas matter in Washita County: 10 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, far more than the national share. Energy work brings contractors, trucking, equipment rental and housing demand that rise and fall with the industry. State clearly which areas and job sites you serve, what equipment you run and how to send a job request.

Paperwork and rules for Oklahoma businesses online
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Oklahoma rules as any other.
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
- Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission

What Colony business owners ask us
Do you have an office in Colony?
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.
Is a website worth it for a business in a town of 106 people?
Your market is bigger than the town: Washita County has 899 nonemployer businesses and 207 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Colony find you.
Can I change the website when the season changes?
Yes. Send the new hours, prices or seasonal services by email; content changes are part of the $89 monthly fee.
Do I need to buy a domain first?
If your business already owns a domain, we point it to the new website; if not, we register one for you and renew it while you are a client.
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.
