How Aria builds your Chatteris website

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. Wherever in the East of England you are, the price is the same: one monthly fee of £69, and email is how we talk.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. We build the website on a proven professional template and share 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.

England rules for a business with a website

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points often come up:

• 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
• 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
