Web Design in Burn

What makes Burn different

An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Burn, where 34.4% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

Driving is how 56.0% of employed people in Burn get to work. Parking details and a map answer the first question many drivers have.

How the £69 plan works

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. From Burn, the plan is identical: £69 a month, and we keep in touch by email.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.

Paperwork and rules for Yorkshire and The Humber businesses online

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
