Three steps to a website for your Baston business

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. Every step happens online, so a Baston business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.

The legal basics for Baston businesses online

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points often come up:

• 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
• You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• 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.
