Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• 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

How the £69 plan works

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. It all runs online, so a Kilve business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After it goes live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
