Rules to know before your Brawdy website goes live

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Wales:

• 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

From sign-up to launch, for Brawdy businesses

We have built business websites since 2008, always working online. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. We build the website with your brand on a tested template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
