Three steps to a website for your Nettlebed business

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Nettlebed as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it on your domain.

New prices, new photos, a new service page: send it by email and it is done, with no extra charge.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• 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
• 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
