Rules to know before your Youlgreave website goes live
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
Before you sign up: common questions
Is a website worth it in a place of 708 people?
Yes. Customers from across Derbyshire Dales search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Send the new details by email and we update the pages; it is included in the £69 plan.
I also work in Bakewell. Can the website show that?
Of course. Email us the places you serve (say Bakewell, Darley Dale and Baslow) and we put them on a page of their own.
Can customers order from my website?
Yes. The plan can be an online shop with a catalogue, a basket and online payment, for the same £69 a month.
Which platform do you use?
On the Aria Platform, which is built on WordPress and set up by our team, so you get a professional site without dealing with the technical side.
Do we need to meet?
It all happens by email: you send your material and any changes, and you review the website on a temporary link before anything is published.
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.
