Self-employment runs deep in Eastcote: 17.0% of residents aged 16 and over are self-employed. That says a lot about what a website for an Eastcote business should show first. For £69 a month, we set up a professional website with your brand, email on your domain and hosting, with no setup fee.

No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.

Eastcote: the place behind the numbers

Larger detached homes (58.4% of households) mean bigger gardens, driveways and renovation projects. For landscapers, builders and home services, a portfolio of real jobs is the strongest sales page.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

Some homework for Eastcote businesses before the website goes live:

  • 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

Yes. Email us the towns you serve (for example Hampton in Arden, Knowle and Dorridge and Balsall Common) and they go on a service area page.

Am I tied in for a year?

No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.

What is the website built on?

Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and looked after by our team: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.

What if I need to change something later?

Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.

Will customers in Eastcote be able to use the site on their phones?

Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that load quickly.
