How the £69 plan works

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. After your approval, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.

New prices, new photos, a new service page: email it in and our team updates the site, included in the fee.

Running a business website from Whitland: the rules

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Wales:

• 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
• 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
