What England asks of a business online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
- You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
Before you sign up: common questions
Is a website worth it in a place of 426 people?
Yes. Customers from across East Riding of 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.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
What do I need to send?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Will customers in Bridlington and Nafferton see that I serve them?
Of course. A service area page can name Bridlington, Nafferton, Hunmanby and any other place you work in; email us the list and we add it.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
How do we work together if I am in Rudston?
No meetings needed: we talk by email at support@ariaserv.com, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
