The process, from first email to launch
Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. For a business in Eythorne, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.
- Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
- Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
- When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.
After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
What England asks of a business online
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
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
