Three steps to a website for your Croscombe business

We have built websites for small companies since 2008, always working online. Wherever in the South West you are, the price is the same: one monthly fee of £69, and email is how we talk.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published 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.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England

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

• 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
