Websites and the Law

'Websites and the Law?' 

What are the legal requirements for a website?

Your website as a minimum must have the following:-

  • If you are a company you must show the registered office.
  • You must show the companies registration number and the place of registration.
  • If you are a member of a professional body or trade organization you must provide details.
  • Any prices on your website must state clearly if the are inclusive of VAT and delivery costs.
  • Your business name, geographic address (PO Box is not sufficient) and email address.
  • Your name must be the name of the business that your potential customers will contract with  You might have a ‘trading name’ but you must explain this clearly.
  • You must show your VAT number even if your website is not ecommerce enabled.

The above is not a complete statement of the law and if you have concerns in this area we  recommend you speak to a suitably qualified lawyer.

Scoosh Quick Tips

#4 Search Engine Optimisation

If you're using image names like 1234.jpg on your website, search engines will not identify the image.

Use descriptive image names instead. If your website contains an image of a silver iPod Classic, the image name 'silver-ipod-classic.jpg is better.

Today's Web Marketing Advice from Scoosh

Online Marketing - How to build links to your website

Link Building is one of the most frustrating, misunderstood and time consuming aspects of marketing your website online.

It is still however, the key to attaining higher ranking in the search engines (See Google PageRank™)

PageRank™ performs an objective measurement of the importance of web pages by solving an equation of more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Instead of counting direct links, PageRank™ interprets a link from Page A to Page B as a vote for Page B by Page A. PageRank™ then assesses a page's importance by the number of votes it receives.

We are often asked the question that if everyone is link building, to 'artificially' increase their ranking, surely Google will alter it's algorithms to 'penalise' such a strategy.
