How Aria builds your Pidley website
Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Every step happens online, so your business in Pidley gets the same plan as anyone.
- Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
- No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
- Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.
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.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
The legal basics for Pidley businesses online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
