How the £69 plan works

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites 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. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. After your approval, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and the changes you email in are included.

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:

• 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
