How Aria builds an Arcola website

The team behind this page is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for small businesses since 2008. There are no visits or meetings in Arcola: you send your material by email, and you approve the website on a temporary link.

1. The sign-up at cadastro.ariaserv.com/en takes about 5 minutes; your logo and photos 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. Ask for adjustments by email, approve, and after the first monthly fee the site goes live on your domain.

Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.

Before you publish: Texas and federal rules

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Arcola businesses:

• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Arcola, that means asking Fort Bend County and the City of Arcola. Official source
