England rules for a business with a website

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
• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• 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

The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Westwoodside 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; the rest goes by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. After your approval, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it on your domain.

A price change or a fresh photo: email it in and our team updates the site, included in the fee.
