28.7% of households in Kelloe live in social rented homes, against 17.1% in England. That says a lot about what a website for a Kelloe 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.

What England asks of a business online
Putting your business online does not change the rules, 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
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
