The legal basics for Arnside businesses online

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points often come up:

• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• 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

Web design for Arnside, handled online

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. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. We build the website on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
