Before you publish: rules that apply in England

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 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

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.

The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Leverington as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
2. We build the website with your brand on a tested template and send 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.
