Three steps to a website for your Crich business
Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Crich as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.
- Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
- Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
- Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.
Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and the changes you email in are included.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
Registration and privacy basics for Crich
Some homework for Crich businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
- 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
