Three steps to a website for your Walbottle business

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. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. Our team builds the pages on a proven professional template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

After it goes live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.

Paperwork and rules for North East 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:

• 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
• 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.
