The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Checkendon as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

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, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published 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.

Running a business website from Checkendon: the rules

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

• 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
• 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
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
