Small business website, start to finish

Aria is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and has built websites for small businesses since 2008. Nobody from Aria will visit: material and questions travel by email, and you approve the website on a temporary link.

1. Start with the online sign-up, which takes about 5 minutes, and send your material 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.

Changes after launch go by email and are included, and so do quick questions.

Running a website from Trinidad: the Texas rules

A few rules apply to any Trinidad business that sells or advertises online:

• The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) rarely reaches a local business: The chapter reaches a person who does business in Texas or sells products or services consumed by Texans, processes or sells personal data, and is NOT a small business under the United States Small Business Administration definition. A typical small business is therefore outside the main obligations, but Section 541.107 still applies to it: a small business may not sell sensitive personal data without the consumer’s prior consent. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 541 (HB 4, 88th Legislature, 2023)
• 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
• Local business tax receipts in Texas can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Henderson County and Trinidad. Official source
