Rules to know before your Blackawton website goes live
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
Before you sign up: common questions
Is a website worth it in a place of 929 people?
Yes. Customers from across South Hams search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
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.
Do I need a domain already?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
What is the website built on?
Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and maintained by us: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.
Can I cancel?
No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.
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.
