From sign-up to launch, for Golden Cross businesses

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

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 working days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Once you say it is ready, you pay the first month and the website goes live on your domain.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and the changes you email in are included.

Running a business website from Golden Cross: the rules

Some homework for Golden Cross businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• 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
