A £69 website, step by step

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. From Pheasey, the plan is identical: £69 a month, and email is how we talk.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, with your colours and logo.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live 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.
