The legal basics for Wolvey businesses online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few rules often come up:

• 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

The process, from first email to launch

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. Every step happens online, so a Wolvey business gets the same plan as anyone.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. After your approval, the first monthly fee is issued 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.
