The legal basics for North Stainley businesses online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.

When does the site go live?
The first version is ready within 3 working days, on a temporary link. Publication on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
Can the website be an online shop?

What if I need to change something later?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
