Running a business website from Beckermet: the rules

Some homework for Beckermet businesses before the website goes live:

• 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 cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• 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

General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.

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

A price change or a fresh photo: send it by email and it is done, with no extra charge.
