Getting a Bearley business online: the steps

We have built websites since 2008, with every step handled online. The plan is the same in Bearley as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Fill in the sign-up form at cadastro.ariaserv.com; it takes about 5 minutes.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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.

England rules for a business with a website

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
