The process, from first email to launch

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Every step happens online, so your business in Shirebrook pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. After your approval, you pay the first month 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.

Paperwork and rules for East Midlands businesses online

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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.
