Registration and privacy basics for Biddenden
Some homework for Biddenden businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
- 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 in Biddenden: frequent questions

Yes. We add a section with the places you cover, Tenterden and Headcorn included, with the contact form one tap away.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes. Choose an online shop in the sign-up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.
Will the website work on phones?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps the contact form and your details.

It all happens by email: you send your material and any changes, and you review the website on a temporary link before it goes live.
