Running a business website from Scotter: the rules
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee

Questions from Scotter business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 2,946 people?
Yes. Customers from across West Lindsey search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Will the website work on phones?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that open fast.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
How do we work together if I am in Scotter?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you review the website on a temporary link before anything is published.
Which platform do you use?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and maintained by us: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
I also work in Messingham. Can the website show that?
Of course. Email us the towns you serve (for example Messingham, Kirton in Lindsey and Owston Ferry) and we put them on a page of their own.

No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
