Running a business website from Lampeter: the rules
Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, 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
- 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

What business owners in Lampeter ask us
Lampeter is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Ceredigion search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Many of my customers are students. Does the website need anything special?
A fast mobile site with clear prices and opening times does most of the work; we build it that way as standard.
Which platform do you use?
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.
My customers come from Llanybydder and Pencader as well. Can I say so?
Yes. We add a list of the towns you serve, Llanybydder and Pencader included, and keep the contact form on every page.
Do I need professional photos?
Send what you have; we put it into a proven template with your colours and logo, and you review all the text before anything goes live.
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.
