The process, from first email to launch

Aria has built websites for small companies since 2008, always working 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. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
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, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it on your domain.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and the changes you email in are included.

Rules to know before your Tugby website goes live

Some homework for Tugby businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
