The process, from first email to launch

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. We build the website with your brand on a tested template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain.

A price change or a fresh photo: email it in and our team updates the site, included in the fee.

What England asks of a business online

Putting your business online brings no special licence, but a few rules are worth checking:

• 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
• 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
