Rules to know before your Ide website goes live
Some homework for Ide 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
- 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. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
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 Ide business
Is a website worth it in a place of 586 people?
Yes. Customers from across Teignbridge search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Will customers in Ide be able to use the site on their phones?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps the contact form and your details.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, tell us in the sign-up and we will help you pick one, by email.
Is there a minimum contract?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Do I need professional photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
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.
