A closer look at Tantobie
The County Durham local authority area grew by 2.9% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 536,793 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Tantobie business gets onto that first list.
County Durham businesses and what their websites need
The County Durham local authority area had 18,115 local business units in 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across England, with what each one’s website should show:
- Farms and agricultural businesses (1,300): seasonal opening times and a form for wholesale enquiries.
- Restaurants, cafés and pubs (1,440): how to book a table or a private event by email and opening hours and a map.
- Car dealers and motor trade businesses (650): finance contact details and directions and opening hours.
- Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (1,645): the services they offer and where and a quote form that lands in their inbox.
- Manufacturers and engineering workshops (130): certifications and industries they serve.
The local count includes 50 fitness facilities, 285 pubs and bars and 50 veterinary practices. 82.0% are micro businesses with up to nine employees. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

Before you publish: rules that apply in England
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- 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
- 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
- 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
