Cheshire West and Chester businesses and what their websites need

Of the 16,450 business sites counted in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Farms and agricultural businesses (895): where to buy their products and what they grow or raise.
• Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers (535): the services and who they are for and the team with qualifications.
• Cleaning, landscaping and building services (495): a quote form and photos of completed work.
• Dental practices, clinics, physiotherapists and other health practices (570): hours and how to reach the clinic and the practitioners and their credentials.

Among the most common trades: 160 estate agencies, 40 fitness facilities and 225 domestic building firms. 82.4% are micro businesses with up to nine employees. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

Paperwork and rules for North West businesses online

Some homework for Saughall businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
• When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling

What working with Aria looks like

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. From Saughall, the plan is identical: £69 a month, and email is how we talk.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Our team builds the pages with your brand on a tested template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
