Registration and privacy basics for Dymock
Some homework for Dymock businesses before the website goes live:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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
- 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

Before you sign up: common questions
Dymock is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than Dymock. People across Forest of Dean look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
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.
How long until my website is ready?
Within 3 working days of receiving your material, the website is ready on a temporary link. It goes live on your domain once you approve it and the first monthly fee is paid.
Do we need to meet?
We work online from start to finish. Logo, photos and texts come by email, and you approve the site on a temporary link.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
Your domain stays yours. Bring the one you have, or let us know you need one and we will help you choose.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
I also work in Newent. Can the website show that?
Yes. We add a list of the towns you serve, Newent and Ledbury included, and keep the contact form on every page.
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.
