Putting your business online brings no special licence, but these points are worth checking:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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

You can stop the service whenever you need to; there is no setup fee and no long-term commitment.
I also work in East Wittering. Can the website show that?
Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, East Wittering and West Thorney included, with the contact form one tap away.
Do I need a domain already?
If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, tell us in the sign-up and we will help you pick one, by email.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Your logo, a few photos of your work or premises and a short description of what you offer, all by email. We build the pages and you approve every one.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps the contact form and your details.
Do I pay anything to get started?
