Registration and privacy basics for Barlow

Some homework for Barlow businesses before the website goes live:

  • 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
  • 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

Before you sign up: common questions

Is a website worth it in a place of 455 people?

Yes. Customers from across North Yorkshire search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.

What is the website built on?

On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.

Can the website be an online shop?

Yes. Tick the online shop option when you sign up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.

How many email accounts do I get?

Unlimited accounts on your domain, within 5 GB of total storage, plus webmail and spam filtering, all in the £69 plan.

What do I need to send?

Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.

Can I add a page for the area I cover around Barlow?

Of course. Email us the places you serve (for example Camblesforth, Hemingbrough and Carlton, Selby) and they go on a service area page.

Do I pay anything to get started?
