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

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

New prices, new photos, a new service page: send it by email and it is done, with no extra charge.

Paperwork and rules for North West businesses online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these points often come up:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
