The process, from first email to launch

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

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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.

Running a business website from Stonnall: the rules

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• 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
• 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

Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
