Before you publish: rules that apply in Wales

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but a few rules are worth checking:

  • 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

Before you sign up: common questions

Rachub is small. Do I really need a website?

Your market is bigger than Rachub. People across Gwynedd look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.

Am I tied in for a year?

No lock-in. The plan is month to month at £69, with nothing to pay before you approve the website.

Do I need professional photos?

Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.

Can the site list the places around Rachub that I cover?

Of course. Email us the places you serve (say Bethesda, Tregarth and Bangor) and they go on a service area page.

Can the website be an online shop?

Yes. Choose an online shop in the sign-up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.

Which platform do you use?

Your website runs on the Aria Platform, built on WordPress and looked after by our team: hosting, SSL, daily backups and security updates included.

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.
