How Aria builds your Upper Hartfield website

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. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

A price change or a fresh photo: email it in and our team updates the site, included in the fee.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

Some homework for Upper Hartfield businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
