How the £69 plan works
Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. 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.
- Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
- No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
- Once you say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain.
After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
The legal basics for East Runton businesses online
Some homework for East Runton businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
