Three steps to a website for your Seaford business

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Every step happens online, so a Seaford business pays the same £69 a month as anyone else in the United Kingdom.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
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 say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it on your domain.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.

The legal basics for Seaford businesses online

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, 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
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
