How Aria builds your Worsbrough website

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. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Hosting, the SSL certificate, daily backups and security updates stay with us, and content changes you email in are included.

Registration and privacy basics for Worsbrough

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• 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. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
