The process, from first email to launch

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

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. 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.

Rules to know before your Campton website goes live

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

• 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.
