What happens once you sign up

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. It all runs online, so a Wisley business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Fill in the sign-up form at cadastro.ariaserv.com; it takes about 5 minutes.
2. No more than 3 working days later, 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.

Running a business website from Wisley: the rules

Some homework for Wisley 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
• 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
