The Northumberland local authority area grew by 2.8% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 330,615 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Corbridge business gets onto that first list.

- 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
- 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

Before you sign up: common questions
Is a website worth it in a place of 2,888 people?

Which platform do you use?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and looked after by our team: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
What do I need to send?
Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
What about my domain name?
Your domain stays yours. Bring the one you have, or let us know you need one and we will help you choose.
Is there a minimum contract?
No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.
Do I pay anything to get started?
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.
