Web Design in Wookey

A closer look at Wookey

An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear contact details and no hunting for opening hours. In Wookey, where 27.4% of residents are 65 or over, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

Rules to know before your Wookey website goes live

Some homework for Wookey businesses before the website goes live:

• 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 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
