How the £69 plan works

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. For a business in Kempsey, 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, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
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.
