How Aria builds your Chart Sutton website

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. It all runs online, so a Chart Sutton business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. Our team builds the pages on a proven professional template and send 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.

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 South East businesses online

Some homework for Chart Sutton businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
