Running a business website from Clun: the rules

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

• 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 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
• 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.

How the £69 plan works

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. For a business in Clun, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.

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.
