• 17 insurance agencies: the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
• 7 hotels and motels: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• 7 grocery stores: store hours, departments and weekly specials you post by email to us.
• 12 full-service restaurants: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
• 11 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.

Affordable web design: what you get and how it works

Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. We don’t have an office in Yale: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

1. Sign up online in about 5 minutes; the logo, photos and texts you already have go by email.
2. Your website is ready within 5 business days on a temporary link, so you can check every page before anything is published.
3. Approve it, pay the first month, and the website goes live on your domain together with your business email.

After it goes live, hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates stay with Aria, and you request content changes by email at no extra cost.
