England rules for a business with a website

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
• 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

The process, from first email to launch

Aria has built business websites for small companies since 2008, with every step handled online. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes 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. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and the changes you email in are included.
