Registration and privacy basics for Halland

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

• 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
• 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

How Aria builds your Halland website

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Every step happens online, so a Halland business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

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. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

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.
