The process, from first email to launch

We have built business websites for small companies since 2008, with every step handled online. Wherever in the South West you are, the plan is identical: one monthly fee of £69, and we keep in touch by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. After your approval, you pay the first month and the website goes live on your domain.

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.

Registration and privacy basics for Bittaford

Some homework for Bittaford businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
