How Aria builds your Flookburgh website

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. The plan is the same in Flookburgh as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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.

Running a business website from Flookburgh: the rules

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
• 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
