England rules for a business with a website

Some homework for Bilsborrow businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.

The process, from first email to launch

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. It all runs online, so a Bilsborrow business gets the same plan as anyone.

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. After your approval, 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.
