35.7% of the people in Ashover are 65 or over, against 18.4% across England. That says a lot about what a website for an Ashover business should show first. Aria builds the whole site for £69 a month, with your domain, business email and hosting, and you pay only once you have approved it.

No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.

What England asks of a business online

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:

  • Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
  • 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

Before you sign up: common questions

Is a website worth it in a place of 632 people?

Your market is bigger than Ashover. People across North East Derbyshire look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.

What do I need to send?

A logo, some photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.

Will the website work on phones?

Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that open fast.

How do I keep in touch with the team?

No meetings needed: we talk by email at support@ariaserv.com, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.

What is the website built on?

Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and looked after by our team: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.

My customers come from Tansley and Clay Cross as well. Can I say so?

Of course. Email us the towns you serve (say Tansley, Clay Cross and Old Tupton) and they go on a service area page.

Do I pay anything to get started?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
