The process, from first email to launch

We have built websites since 2008, with every step handled 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. Our team builds the pages with your brand on a tested template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

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.

The legal basics for Eakring businesses online

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

• 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
