The Gwynedd local authority area grew by 3.1% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 120,713 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Bethesda business gets onto that first list.

The process, from first email to launch

We have built websites since 2008, always working online. The plan is the same in Bethesda as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow 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. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

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

Wales rules for a business with a website

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Wales:

• 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
