Paperwork and rules for Wales businesses online
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- 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

Questions from Llanbedr business owners
Is a website worth it in a place of 339 people?
Your market is bigger than Llanbedr. People across Gwynedd look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
How do I keep in touch with the team?
We work online from start to finish. Logo, photos and texts come by email, and you approve the site on a temporary link.
Can the site list the places around Llanbedr that I cover?
Yes. Email us the towns you serve (say Harlech, Barmouth and Porthmadog) and they go on a service area page.
Can I update prices after the site is live?
Email us the change (a new price, a photo, a new service) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Is there a minimum contract?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes, an online shop costs the same £69 a month as a regular website: product catalogue, basket and online payment.
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.
