Pembrokeshire businesses and what their websites need

The Pembrokeshire local authority area had 6,615 local business units in 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across Wales, with what each one’s website should show:

• Farms and agricultural businesses (1,230): where to buy their products and a form for wholesale enquiries.

Three steps to a website for your St Ishmael’s business

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. From St Ishmael’s, the plan is identical: one monthly fee of £69, and we keep in touch by email.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

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 St Ishmael’s businesses online

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

• You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• 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
• 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.
