The legal basics for Raskelf businesses online

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

• 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
• You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• 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.

How the £69 plan works

Aria has built business websites for small companies since 2008, with every step handled online. For a business in Raskelf, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going 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. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
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.
