Getting a Marlborough business online: the steps

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Marlborough as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Fill in the sign-up form at cadastro.ariaserv.com; it takes about 5 minutes.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
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 launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.

Rules to know before your Marlborough website goes live

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• 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
• 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
