Askern is a place of families: 20.6% of residents are under 15, and 33.9% of households have dependent children. That says a lot about what a website for an Askern business should show first. Aria builds the whole site for £69 a month, with your domain, business email and hosting, and you pay only once you have approved it.
No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.

Rules to know before your Askern website goes live
Some homework for Askern 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
- 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
