A £69 website, step by step
Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. The plan is the same in Billinge as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.
- Complete the 5-minute sign-up and send your logo, photos and service list by email.

What England asks of a business online
Some homework for Billinge businesses before the website goes live:
- You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
- You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
- Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
