How a website for $89 a month works

Based in Curitiba, Brazil, Aria has been building business websites since 2008. We don’t have an office in Phenix: the whole process happens online, and the plan is the same $89 a month in any city.

The legal basics for Phenix businesses online

These are some of the Virginia and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Virginia has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Va. Code Section 18.2-186.6
• Virginia’s state retail sales tax rate is 4.3%. A 1% local tax applies statewide, so the general rate is 5.3% almost everywhere, and some regions add a further 0.7% or more. Virginia Department of Taxation
• Local business tax receipts in Virginia can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Charlotte County and Phenix. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
