Wiltshire businesses and what their websites need

Of the 24,985 business sites counted in the Wiltshire local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Farms and agricultural businesses, 1,945 in Wiltshire: the site should show seasonal opening times and what they grow or raise.
• Car dealers and motor trade businesses, 825 in Wiltshire: the site should show current stock with photos and directions and opening hours.
• Professional firms such as accountants, solicitors and engineers, 1,590 in Wiltshire: the site should show office address and hours and how a first consultation works.
• Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses, 505 in Wiltshire: the site should show the timetable and photos of the facilities.

Among the trades with their own count, the Wiltshire local authority area has 380 pubs and bars and 90 hotels. 85.0% are micro businesses with up to nine employees. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to get in touch.

Rules to know before your Baydon website goes live

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• 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
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
