A £69 website, step by step

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Wherever in the East Midlands you are, the price is the same: one monthly fee of £69, and email is how we talk.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.

What England asks of a business online

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but a few rules often come up:

• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• 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
