Getting a Northop business online: the steps

We have built business websites since 2008, with every step handled online. For a business in Northop, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. We build the website on a proven professional template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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.

Wales rules for a business with a website

Some homework for Northop businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• 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
