The process, from first email to launch

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. The plan is the same in Forest Green 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. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

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

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• 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
