Rules to know before your Swannington website goes live

Some homework for Swannington businesses before the website goes live:

• 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 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

Web design for Swannington, handled online

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. The plan is the same in Swannington as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you 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.
