Pant: the place behind the numbers

An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Pant, where 34.6% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

England rules for a business with a website

Some homework for Pant businesses before the website goes live:

• 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
• 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
