England rules for a business with a website

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:

• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
• 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

What working with Aria looks like

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Enstone as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. After your approval, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
