Web design for Wiveliscombe, handled online

Aria has been building business websites and online shops since 2008, and every project runs online. The plan is the same in Wiveliscombe as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.

The legal basics for Wiveliscombe businesses online

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but a few rules are worth checking:

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