England rules for a business with a website

Some homework for Tyler Hill 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
• 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

The process, from first email to launch

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. No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Once you say it is ready, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and the changes you email in are included.
