What happens once you sign up

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. For a business in Ambrosden, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
