The legal basics for St Clears businesses online
Some homework for St Clears businesses before the website goes live:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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

Answers for Wales business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 1,787 people?
Yes. Customers from across Carmarthenshire 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?
Your logo, a few photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send your material and any changes, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before anything is published.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes. The plan can be an online shop with a catalogue, a basket and online payment, for the same £69 a month.
Will customers in Whitland and Carmarthen see that I serve them?
Of course. A service area page can name Whitland, Carmarthen, Kidwelly and any other place you work in; just send us the list by email.
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.
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.
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.
