The process, from first email to launch

We have built websites since 2008, with every step handled online. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and email us whatever material you already have.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
3. Once you say it is ready, you pay the first month and the website goes 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.

Rules to know before your High Legh website goes live

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 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 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
• 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
