Three steps to a website for your Althorpe business

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; the rest goes by email.
2. Our team builds the pages 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.

Hosting, the SSL certificate, daily backups and security updates stay with us, and content changes you email in are included.

The legal basics for Althorpe businesses online

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points are worth checking:

• 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 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
