Getting a Postwick business online: the steps

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. It all runs online, so your business in Postwick pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
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.

Paperwork and rules for East of England businesses online

Some homework for Postwick businesses before the website goes live:

• 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 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
• 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
