What working with Aria looks like

We have built business websites for small companies since 2008, always working online. From Flamstead, 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 put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you 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.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.

The legal basics for Flamstead businesses online

Some homework for Flamstead businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
