How Aria builds your Cotgrave website

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses 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. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
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 Cotgrave website goes live

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
• 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
• 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
