What happens once you sign up

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Fill in the sign-up form at cadastro.ariaserv.com; it takes about 5 minutes.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, with your colours and logo.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and the changes you email in are included.

The legal basics for Swadlincote businesses online

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

• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• 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
