What happens once you sign up

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Fill in the sign-up form at cadastro.ariaserv.com; it takes about 5 minutes.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go 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.

Paperwork and rules for South East businesses online

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

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