Registration and privacy basics for Allonby

Some homework for Allonby businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
• 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
• 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

From sign-up to launch, for Allonby businesses

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. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
