From sign-up to launch, for Longworth businesses

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. The plan is the same in Longworth as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. We build the website on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
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.

What England asks of a business online

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

• 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
