Registration and privacy basics for Wardington

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• 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

How the £69 plan works

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. Every step happens online, so a Wardington business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

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. 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.
