Paperwork and rules for East Midlands 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 must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
- 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
Details vary by business, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
Before you sign up: common questions
Sharnford is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Blaby search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Can I cancel?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
When does the site go live?
The first version is ready within 3 working days, on a temporary link. Going live on your domain comes after your approval and the first payment.
What do I need to send?
Send what you have; we put it into a proven template with your colours and logo, and you review all the text before anything goes live.
Does the site look right on a mobile?
Yes, it is built to work on phones first, with buttons that are easy to tap and pages that open fast.
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.
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.
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.
