How the £69 plan works

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. For a business in Meldreth, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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.

What England asks of a business online

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
• 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
• 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
