Three steps to a website for your Garthorpe business

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. It all runs online, so your business in Garthorpe pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
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.

Running a business website from Garthorpe: the rules

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

• 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
• 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
