70.5% of households in Fivehead live in a detached house, against 22.9% across England. That says a lot about what a website for a Fivehead business should show first. Our £69 plan covers the website or online shop, your domain, email and hosting, ready within 3 working days on a temporary link.
No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.
The local picture in Fivehead
An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Fivehead, where 38.0% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.
Industries that stand out in Somerset
Of the 28,585 business sites counted in the Somerset local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:
- Farms and agricultural businesses (3,535): a form for wholesale enquiries and where to buy their products.
- Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (410): rates by season and what is nearby.
- Manufacturers and engineering workshops (130): capabilities and equipment and certifications.
- Equipment and vehicle hire firms (220): what can be rented and for how long and a form to check availability.
- Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses (445): how to get in touch and photos of the facilities.
The local count includes 125 dental practices, 625 domestic building firms and 345 landscape service firms. Small firms dominate: 84.8% have fewer than ten staff, and 17.9% are sole proprietors. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online
Putting your business online brings no special licence, but these points are worth checking:
- 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
- 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
- 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
