Questions from Chulmleigh business owners

Yes. Customers from across North 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.
Will the website work on phones?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that open fast.
Can I sell online from Chulmleigh?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, say so in the sign-up form and we will help you pick one, by email.
How long until my website is ready?
You see it within 3 working days. Then you ask for changes, approve, pay the first month, and it goes live with your email.
Will customers in Winkleigh and Morchard Bishop see that I serve them?
Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Winkleigh and Morchard Bishop included, and keep the contact form on every page.
