How Aria builds your Queenborough website

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. It all runs online, so a Queenborough business gets the same plan as anyone.

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it 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.

Running a business website from Queenborough: the rules

Some homework for Queenborough businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
