With at least 41 million people in the UK online, there has never been a better time for small businesses to get online with their first website.
A website is a great way of attracting new customers or engaging with existing ones, but many businesses aren't online yet because they think its either too costly, too complicated, not necessary, or often all three!
To simplify the process of getting online with their first website we've put together a tool that will allow small businesses to get online quickly, easily and for free. For those who are already online, we've developed tip & tools guides to identify ways in which they can improve their website.
For businesses without a website
Everything a business needs to get online, for free:
- A free website address: choose from any available 'co.uk' website address. If the address is already taken, we'll suggest available alternatives
- A free customised website: in 15 mins they can create a customised, professional looking website, tailored to their business type
- Free marketing: all sites created will be indexed by Google, enabling users to easily and quickly find businesses online
For businesses with a website
We've developed a set of guides so that any business with a website can find ways in which they can improve their existing presence online.
