48.0% of households in Landkey live in a detached house, against 22.9% across England. That says a lot about what a website for a Landkey business should show first. Our team designs a professional site for your business for £69 a month: domain, email and hosting included, with no setup fee.
No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.
What makes Landkey different
Landkey has a lot of people working for themselves (11.3% of adults are self-employed). That means plenty of competition among sole traders, and a professional website is one of the clearest ways to stand out.

England rules for a business with a website
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
- Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices

Before you sign up: common questions

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.
Does the plan include business email?
As many addresses on your domain as you need, sharing 5 GB in total, with webmail and spam filtering.
How do I keep in touch with the team?
We work online from start to finish. Logo, photos and texts come by email, and you approve the site on a temporary link.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
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.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that load quickly.
