2. Within 3 working days, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

A price change or a fresh photo: send it by email and it is done, with no extra charge.

England rules for a business with a website

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• 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
