England rules for a business with a website
Some homework for Coverack 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
- Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices

Before you sign up: common questions
Coverack is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Cornwall search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
How do I keep in touch with the team?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before it goes live.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Send what you have; we put it into a proven template with your colours and logo, and you review all the text before anything goes live.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: product catalogue, basket and online payment.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Our team does it for you: email what needs changing and we take care of it, along with hosting, SSL and backups.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.

Yes. A service area page can name Mawnan Smith, Lizard, Mullion and any other place you work in; email us the list and we add 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.
