Doing business in Arundel
An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Arundel, where 32.9% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.
Arun businesses and what their websites need
Of the 6,470 business sites counted in the Arun local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:
- Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (730 sites): emergency contact details and hours and before-and-after photos.
- Builders and renovation firms (300 sites): how a quote request works and licences, insurance and warranty details.
- Cleaning, landscaping and building services (215 sites): the services and areas covered and insurance details.
- Car dealers and motor trade businesses (240 sites): directions and opening hours and current stock with photos.
Among the trades with their own count, the Arun local authority area has 140 plumbing and heating installers and 5 driving schools. Most are small: 85.1% employ fewer than ten people. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

Questions from Arundel business owners
Arundel is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Arun 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 we work together if I am in Arundel?
No meetings needed: we talk by email at support@ariaserv.com, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.
Can the site list the places around Arundel that I cover?
Of course. A service area page can name Wick, Arun, Walberton, Yapton and any other place you work in; email us the list and we add it.
What do I need to send?
A logo, some photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.
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.
Can I have an email address with my business name?
As many addresses on your domain as you need, sharing 5 GB in total, with webmail and spam filtering.
Am I tied in for a year?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
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.
