Rules to know before your Wembury website goes live
Some homework for Wembury businesses before the website goes live:
- 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

Questions from Wembury business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 1,828 people?
Yes. Customers from across South Hams 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?
Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Do I need a domain already?
Your domain stays yours. Bring the one you have, or let us know you need one and we will help you choose.
My customers come from Sherford and Yealmpton as well. Can I say so?
Yes. We add a list of the towns you serve, Sherford and Yealmpton included, with the contact form one tap away.
How fast can I see the website?
The first version is ready within 3 working days, on a temporary link. Going live on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
Which platform do you use?
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.
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.
