What makes Gedney different

An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Gedney, where 33.7% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

England rules for a business with a website

Some homework for Gedney businesses before the website goes live:

• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• 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
