The process, from first email to launch

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. The plan is the same in Husthwaite as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and the changes you email in are included.

Rules to know before your Husthwaite website goes live

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points often come up:

• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• 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
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
