Rules to know before your Beckington website goes live

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 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
• 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

How the £69 plan works

Aria has built business websites since 2008, always working online. It all runs online, so a Beckington business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Our team builds the pages on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
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.
