The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Wherever in the East Midlands you are, the plan is identical: one monthly fee of £69, and email is how we talk.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. After your approval, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.

Rules to know before your Turnditch website goes live

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
• 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
