Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

  1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
  2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.

Rules to know before your Woolfardisworthy website goes live

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 has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
  • 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

Details vary by business, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
