About Build a Web Site
About the independent editorial guide for UK small businesses.
Build a Web Site is an independent editorial guide for UK small-business owners, self-employed professionals and people responsible for an existing business website.
Its purpose is to make website decisions easier to understand: what to prepare, what a choice will cost over time, what can go wrong, what should remain under the business’s control and how to check that work has been completed properly.
What we cover
The site covers ordinary business websites, website builders, WordPress, domains, hosting, email, business features, promotion, maintenance, security and recovery. It does not present itself as a substitute for legal, tax, accessibility, cyber-security or other specialist advice.
Our editorial position
We do not treat one platform or supplier as the best choice for every business. Recommendations should follow the reader’s requirements, budget, technical capacity, ownership needs and exit options.
Who writes the guidance
Until named authors are formally appointed, articles are published by the Build a Web Site Editorial Team. The site does not invent qualifications, clients, awards or personal experience.
