Registration and privacy basics for Hellifield

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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

How the £69 plan works

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. 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. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
