Before you publish: rules that apply in England
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
- 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
- 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
Details vary by business, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
Westley website questions, answered
Westley is small. Do I really need a website?
Yes. Customers from across Winchester search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Many of my customers are students. Does the website need anything special?
A fast mobile site with clear prices and opening times does most of the work; we build it that way as standard.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before it goes live.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes. Choose an online shop in the sign-up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.
I also work in Littleton, Winchester. Can the website show that?
Yes. Email us the places you serve (say Littleton, Winchester, South Wonston and Winchester) and they go on a service area page.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
