England rules for a business with a website
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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 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
- Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine.

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 writes the text and picks the photos?

We work online from start to finish. You email your logo, photos and texts, and you approve the site on a temporary link.

Of course. A service area page can name Whittington, Shropshire, Morda, Oswestry and the rest of the places you cover; email us the list and we add it.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps a way to reach you and your details.

Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: product catalogue, basket and online payment.

No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
