What makes Eastwood different

The Broxtowe local authority area grew by 3.0% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 114,124 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how an Eastwood business gets onto that first list.

Larger detached homes (40.8% of households) mean bigger gardens, driveways and renovation projects. For landscapers, builders and home services, a portfolio of real jobs is the strongest sales page.

Registration and privacy basics for Eastwood

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 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
• 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

From sign-up to launch, for Eastwood businesses

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. From Eastwood, the plan is identical: £69 a month, and email is how we talk.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go 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.
