  • 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
  • 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

Answers for South West business owners

Briantspuddle is small. Do I really need a website?

Yes. Customers from across Dorset 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 do I need to send?

Send what you have; we put it into a proven template with your colours and logo, and you review all the text before launch.

I also work in Bere Regis. Can the website show that?

Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Bere Regis and Milborne St Andrew included, and keep the contact form on every page.

Can I update prices after the site is live?

Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.

Which platform do you use?

Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and maintained by us: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.

I already own a domain. Can I keep it?

Your domain stays yours. Bring the one you have, or let us know you need one and we will help you choose.

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.
