Are your website and email footers legal? Or could you be fined?
How to ensure that you comply with new UK regulations
Did you know that since the Companies Act was updated in January 2007 all UK companies must include certain regulatory information on their websites and at the foot of each email?
What’s more, any company failing to display the correct information could be fined.
Yet over 5 months after its introduction, many web sites and business emails still do not comply with this new legislation.
Read on to find out exactly what information you need to display and where. And remember, this information will not only help you to avoid a costly fine, but may also help you to develop your customer relationships by promoting transparency and building customer confidence.

Evergreen Business Support
Established in 1999 by Gill Price, Evergreen Business Support provides on demand typing services and a conference typing service to businesses across the UK.
When Gill approached Stone Square to redesign Evergreen’s web site, she asked us to focus on building a web site that was user friendly, easy to navigate and quick to download, so we created a simple design using the company’s corporate colours.
Evergreen wanted to use the web site to attract leads and new customers. As they work with a broad range of clients - from self-employed professionals to large corporations, the web site needs to appeal to all their potential customers and answer their specific questions and concerns.

- Look bright and exciting
- Appeal to parents who are considering sending their child to the school
- Help them communicate with existing parents
- Display children’s work
- Raise awareness of The Gleddings and the services it offers
They also wanted to keep the web site’s content and pictures fresh and up to date and needed to be able to update the site themselves.

Companies Team Up to Launch New Websites
A symbiotic working relationship between two Yorkshire-based companies has led to the launch of two new websites.
For several years the Huddersfield-based copywriting company, CopyWrite, has provided the words for websites created by Stone Square, the Halifax-based web designer company, on behalf of its clients. It was only natural, therefore, that when Stone Square launched its own ecommerce site, www.bigfatballoons.co.uk, selling balloons and gifts online, that CopyWrite helped out with the words.

So make sure that your graphic and pictures are good quality and your text is clear and informative.
Remember that you are asking people to leave their credit card details and trust you with their money!
