Paperwork and rules for Yorkshire and The Humber businesses online
Some homework for Byram 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
- A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites

The process, from first email to launch
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.
- Complete the 5-minute sign-up and email us whatever material you already have.
- We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
- When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.
Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.
- 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
Answers for Yorkshire and The Humber business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 1,436 people?
Yes. Customers from across North Yorkshire search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Can the site list the places around Byram that I cover?
Of course. Email us the towns you serve (for example Holmfield, Knottingley and Monk Fryston and Hillam) and we put them on a page of their own.
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.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
How fast can I see the website?
You see it within 3 working days. Then you ask for changes, approve, pay the first month, and it goes live on your domain.
What about my domain name?
If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, say so in the sign-up form and we will help you pick one, by email.
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.
