How Aria builds your Niton website

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Niton as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. 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.

Rules to know before your Niton website goes live

Some homework for Niton businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
• 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
