How Aria builds your Grimsargh website

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. For a business in Grimsargh, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, with your colours and logo.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

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.
