The legal basics for Bladon businesses online
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
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.

Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.

Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps the contact form and your details.
Which platform do you use?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and maintained by us: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Send the new details by email and we update the pages; it is included in the £69 plan.

If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, mention it when you sign up and we sort out the options with you by email.
I also work in Woodstock. Can the website show that?
Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Woodstock and Long Hanborough included, with the contact form one tap away.
