Before you publish: rules that apply in England

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

• 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
• 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

Details vary by business, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

Getting a Cargreen business online: the steps

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. 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. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.
