The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Oakworth 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. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.

The legal basics for Oakworth businesses online

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

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• 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
