Affordable web design: what you get and how it works

Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. There is no Aria office in Ukiah, and you don’t need one: sign-up, material and approval all happen online.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes, and send your material by email.
2. Within 5 business days you get a temporary link with the whole website, built with your logo, colors and photos.
3. Approve it: the first monthly fee is issued and your domain starts showing the new site.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates are handled for you, and you request content changes by email at no extra cost.

Rules that apply to an Ukiah business website

These are some of the Oregon and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
