The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. For a business in Bugbrooke, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, with your colours and logo.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.

Paperwork and rules for East Midlands businesses online

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
