Before you publish: rules that apply in England
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:
- 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
- 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
- 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

Laxfield website questions, answered
Laxfield is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Mid Suffolk search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Can the site list the places around Laxfield that I cover?
Yes. Email us the towns you serve (say Stradbroke, Framlingham and Halesworth) and they go on a service area page.
Will customers in Laxfield be able to use the site on their phones?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that open fast.
Do I need a domain already?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
What if I need to change something later?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
