What England asks of a business online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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
- 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

Answers for East Midlands business owners
Swineshead is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Boston 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 have an email address with my business name?
Unlimited accounts on your domain, within 5 GB of total storage, plus webmail and spam filtering, all in the £69 plan.
Do I need a domain already?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
How fast can I see the website?
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.
Is there a minimum contract?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
What if I need to change something later?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes. The plan can be an online shop with a catalogue, a basket and online payment, for the same £69 a month.
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.
