Your website, built remotely for Bathpool

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. 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. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you say it is ready, you pay the first month and the website goes live on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.

Rules to know before your Bathpool website goes live

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

• 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
• 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
