Before you publish: rules that apply in England
Some homework for Helmdon businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
Web design in Helmdon: frequent questions
Helmdon is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than Helmdon. People across West Northamptonshire look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
Will customers in Brackley and Silverstone see that I serve them?
Of course. Email us the towns you serve (say Brackley, Silverstone and Middleton Cheney) and we put them on a page of their own.
How many email accounts do I get?
As many addresses on your domain as you need, sharing 5 GB in total, with webmail and spam filtering.
Can I cancel?
No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.
How long until my website is ready?
Within 3 working days of receiving your material, the website is ready on a temporary link. It goes live on your domain once you approve it and the first monthly fee is paid.
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.
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.
