Getting an Eggborough business online: the steps

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. The plan is the same in Eggborough as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Our team builds the pages on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

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.

The legal basics for Eggborough businesses online

Some homework for Eggborough 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 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
• 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
