Paperwork and rules for South East businesses online

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 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

What happens once you sign up

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. 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. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
