Lichfield businesses and what their websites need

The Lichfield local authority area had 5,550 local business units in 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across England, with what each one’s website should show:

• Manufacturers and engineering workshops (65): capabilities and equipment and industries they serve.
• Car dealers and motor trade businesses (180): finance contact details and current stock with photos.
• Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (520): a quote form that lands in their inbox and before-and-after photos.
• Farms and agricultural businesses (240): what they grow or raise and a form for wholesale enquiries.

The local count includes 5 driving schools, 55 landscape service firms and 90 accounting and auditing practices. Small firms dominate: 84.0% have fewer than ten staff, and 9.6% are sole proprietors.

What happens once you sign up

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. From Fradley, the plan is identical: one monthly fee of £69, and we keep in touch by email.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, with your colours and logo.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

New prices, new photos, a new service page: email it in and our team updates the site, included in the fee.

England rules for a business with a website

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• 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
• 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
