England rules for a business with a website
Some homework for Urpeth businesses before the website goes live:
- 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 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
Urpeth is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across County Durham search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
Will customers in Urpeth be able to use the site on their phones?

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.
