Paperwork and rules for Yorkshire and The Humber businesses online
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
- 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

Before you sign up: common questions
Is a website worth it in a place of 668 people?
Yes. Customers from across Kirklees search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
A logo, some 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.
How do we work together if I am in Upper Denby?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before anything is published.
Can the site list the places around Upper Denby that I cover?
Of course. Email us the places you serve (say Denby Dale, Skelmanthorpe and Thurlstone) and they go on a service area page.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that load quickly.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes. Choose an online shop in the sign-up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.
Do I need a domain already?
Your domain stays yours. Bring the one you have, or let us know you need one and we will help you choose.
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.
