Rules to know before your Woodbridge website goes live

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
• 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

The process, from first email to launch

Aria is a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. The plan is the same in Woodbridge as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. After your approval, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.
