The legal basics for Scayne’s Hill businesses online

Some homework for Scayne’s Hill 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
• 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. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices

The process, from first email to launch

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. From Scayne’s Hill, the price is the same: £69 a month, and we keep in touch 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, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes 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.
