The process, from first email to launch

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. For a business in Groby, that means the same £69 plan as anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with your material and your questions going by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and the changes you email in are included.

Paperwork and rules for East Midlands businesses online

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

• 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
• 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
