What working with Aria looks like

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

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. We build the website on a proven professional template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published 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.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

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

• 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
• 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
