54.4% of households in Send live in a detached house, against 22.9% across England. That says a lot about what a website for a Send business should show first. Our team builds your website for £69 a month: hosting, email on your domain and daily backups included, and nothing to pay until you approve it.
No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.
What makes Send different
The Guildford local authority area grew by 5.3% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 151,682 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Send business gets onto that first list.
Local businesses in Guildford
Of the 8,545 business sites counted in the Guildford local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:
- Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers, 830 in Guildford: the site should show how a first consultation works and the services and who they are for.
- Photographers, designers and creative studios, 260 in Guildford: the site should show packages and prices and how a project starts.
- Cleaning, landscaping and building services, 260 in Guildford: the site should show a quote form and insurance details.
- IT, software and digital firms, 560 in Guildford: the site should show services and how projects run and case studies of past work.
The local count includes 5 driving schools, 30 fitness facilities and 135 vehicle maintenance and repair garages. Most are small: 84.4% employ fewer than ten people. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to get in touch.

England rules for a business with a website
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
- 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. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices

Before you sign up: common questions
Send is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than Send. People across Guildford look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
Does the plan include business email?
As many addresses on your domain as you need, sharing 5 GB in total, with webmail and spam filtering.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
Do we need to meet?
No meetings needed: we talk by email at support@ariaserv.com, and you see the full website on a temporary link before approving it.
Is there a minimum contract?
You can stop the service whenever you need to; there is no setup fee and no long-term commitment.
What if I need to change something later?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
What do I need to send?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
