Before you sign up: common questions
Is a website worth it in a place of 2,423 people?

How do I keep in touch with the team?
No meetings needed: we talk by email at support@ariaserv.com, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.
I also work in Leiston. Can the website show that?
Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Leiston and Saxmundham included, with the contact form one tap away.
Will customers in Aldeburgh be able to use the site on their phones?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps a way to reach you and your details.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
What do I need to send?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Do I need a domain already?
Your domain stays yours. Bring the one you have, or let us know you need one and we will help you choose.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
