How Aria builds your Carway website
Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. 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.
- Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
- Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
- Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.
Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and the changes you email in are included.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
The legal basics for Carway businesses online
Some homework for Carway businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
- 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

Of course. A section on the site can name Trimsaran, Pontyates, Kidwelly and any other place you work in; email us the list and we add it.
What is the website built on?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.

No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
