Paperwork and rules for South West 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:
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
Web design in St Day: frequent questions
St Day is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Cornwall search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send your material and any changes, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before it goes live.
Which platform do you use?
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.
How long until my website is ready?
The first version is ready within 3 working days, on a temporary link. Publication on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
Do I need a domain already?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
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.
