What happens once you sign up

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
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.

The legal basics for Tamworth businesses online

Some homework for Tamworth 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
• 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
