Rules to know before your Hemyock website goes live

Some homework for Hemyock businesses before the website goes live:

  • A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
  • 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. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices

Questions from Hemyock business owners

Hemyock is small. Do I really need a website?

Yes. Customers from across Mid Devon search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.

What about my domain name?

If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.

Who writes the text and picks the photos?

Send what you have; we put it into a proven template with your colours and logo, and you review all the text before launch.

Do we need to meet?

We work online from start to finish. You email your logo, photos and texts, and you approve the site on a temporary link.

Who keeps the website up to date?

Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.

Do I pay anything to get started?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
