St Just: the place behind the numbers

St Just has a lot of people working for themselves (14.1% of adults are self-employed). That means plenty of competition among sole traders, and a professional website is one of the clearest ways to stand out.

Local businesses in Cornwall

Of the 29,950 business sites counted in the Cornwall local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Farms and agricultural businesses (3,530 sites): a form for wholesale enquiries and seasonal opening times.
• Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (885 sites): what is nearby and how to get there.
• Builders and renovation firms (1,490 sites): licences, insurance and warranty details and photos of finished projects, room by room.

• Restaurants, cafés and pubs (2,255 sites): opening hours and a map and photos of the dishes and the room.

Among the most common trades: 5 portrait photography studios, 130 dental practices and 510 licensed restaurants. Most are small: 84.1% employ fewer than ten people. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

What England asks of a business online

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

• 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
• 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
