England rules for a business with a website

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

  • 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.

Questions about a website for your Tilston business

Tilston is small. Do I really need a website?

Yes. Customers from across Cheshire West and Chester search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.

What do I need to send?

Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.

Am I tied in for a year?

No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.

Can the site list the places around Tilston that I cover?

Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Malpas and Farndon, Cheshire West and Chester included, with the contact form one tap away.

I already own a domain. Can I keep it?

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.

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.
