27.1% of the people in Woodbury are 65 or over, against 18.4% across England. That says a lot about what a website for a Woodbury business should show first. For £69 a month, we set up a professional website with your brand, email on your domain and hosting, with no setup fee.
No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website.

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.
- Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
- No more than 3 working days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, with your colours and logo.
- Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.
Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.
- A business website or an online shop, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you choose one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups
- Changes to text, photos and prices, requested by email
- Ready within 3 working days on a temporary link
Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online
Some homework for Woodbury businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
- 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
