Rules to know before your Saham Toney website goes live
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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 must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

Answers for East of England business owners
Saham Toney is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Breckland 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 customers order from my website?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
Do we need to meet?
No meetings needed: support@ariaserv.com is where the conversation happens, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Am I tied in for a year?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
When does the site go live?
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.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
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.
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.
