Doing business in Sibertswold
An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Sibertswold, where 31.7% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England
Some homework for Sibertswold 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
- 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

Questions from Sibertswold business owners
Sibertswold is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Dover search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, mention it when you sign up and we sort out the options with you by email.
How do we work together if I am in Sibertswold?
It all happens by email: you send your material and any changes, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before it goes live.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone 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.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes. The plan can be an online shop with a catalogue, a basket and online payment, for the same £69 a month.
How many email accounts do I get?
As many addresses on your domain as you need, sharing 5 GB in total, with webmail and spam filtering.
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.
