The process, from first email to launch

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. The plan is the same in Eccles on Sea as in any other town in the United Kingdom: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. We build the website with your brand on a tested template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
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.

Rules to know before your Eccles on Sea website goes live

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

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