The process, from first email to launch

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites 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.

  1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
  2. No more than 3 working days later, the whole site is on a temporary link, built on a proven template with your brand.
  3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.

Running a business website from Morfa Bychan: the rules

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Wales:

  • 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
  • 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

General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
