18.9% of adults in Eyke are small employers or own-account workers, against 10.6% across England. That says a lot about what a website for an Eyke business should show first. For £69 a month, we set up a professional website with your brand, email on your domain and hosting, with no setup fee.
No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.

- Car dealers and motor trade businesses (360): directions and opening hours and service and repair hours.
- Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (910): the services they offer and where and a quote form that lands in their inbox.

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