Waverley businesses and what their websites need

Of the 8,425 business sites counted in the Waverley local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers (885 sites): the services and who they are for and how a first consultation works.
• Insurance brokers and financial advisers (70 sites): regulatory details and how a first meeting works.
• Photographers, designers and creative studios (135 sites): packages and prices and how a project starts.
• Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses (165 sites): how to get in touch and memberships and prices.
• IT, software and digital firms (515 sites): a contact form for project briefs and the team behind the work.
• Estate agents and property managers (460 sites): the areas they cover and a valuation request form.

Among the most common trades: 75 licensed restaurants, 90 vehicle maintenance and repair garages and 20 fitness facilities. Small firms dominate: 88.2% have fewer than ten staff, and 10.6% are sole proprietors.

How the £69 plan works

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. The plan is the same in Ewhurst as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. Within 3 working days, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

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.

The legal basics for Ewhurst businesses online

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

• 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
• 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.
