The legal basics for Upper Tysoe businesses online

Some homework for Upper Tysoe 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
• You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• 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

What working with Aria looks like

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.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live 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.
