Running a business website from Biggleswade: the rules

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• 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
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.

The process, from first email to launch

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. For a business in Biggleswade, 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. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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