Paperwork and rules for South West 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:

• 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 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

How Aria builds your Playing Place website

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. For a business in Playing Place, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
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.
