How Aria builds your Yoxford website
Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. The plan is the same in Yoxford as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.
- Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
- We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
- After your approval, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.
Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
Registration and privacy basics for Yoxford
Some homework for Yoxford 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
- When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
