Getting an Upper Cumberworth business online: the steps

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. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
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 say it is ready, you pay the first month and the website goes live on your domain.

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.

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:

• 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
• 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
