England rules for a business with a website
Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but a few rules often come up:
- 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
- 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

Web design in Fleet: frequent questions
Do I need a domain already?
If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, say so in the sign-up form and we will help you pick one, by email.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Do we need to meet?
No meetings needed: support@ariaserv.com is where the conversation happens, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that load quickly.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
