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

Questions about a website for your Greatford business
Greatford is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across South Kesteven search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
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.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
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.
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.
How long until my website is ready?
Within 3 working days of receiving your material, the website is ready on a temporary link. It goes live on your domain after you approve it and the first monthly fee is paid.
Is there a minimum contract?
You can stop the service whenever you need to; there is no setup fee and no long-term commitment.
Can I sell online from Greatford?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: a catalogue of your products, basket and online payment.
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.
