A £69 website, step by step

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Wherever in the South West you are, the plan is identical: one monthly fee of £69, and we keep in touch by email.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
