Running a business website from Palgrave: the rules
Some homework for Palgrave businesses before the website goes live:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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.
What business owners in Palgrave ask us
Is a website worth it in a place of 976 people?
Yes. Customers from across Mid Suffolk search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Our team does it for you: email what needs changing and we take care of it, along with hosting, SSL and backups.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
Do we need to meet?
We work online from start to finish. Logo, photos and texts come by email, and you approve the site on a temporary link.
Does the plan include business email?
Unlimited accounts on your domain, within 5 GB of total storage, plus webmail and spam filtering, all in the £69 plan.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
