How Aria builds your Colsterworth website

We are 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. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live 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.

What England asks of a business online

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but a few rules often come up:

• 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
• 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
