How Aria builds your Hailey website

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. It all runs online, so a Hailey business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
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.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.

Running a business website from Hailey: the rules

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• 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
