Digital Business Britain Manifesto

How is it FREE?

It's a free website because Google and Yola have combined to form a unique partnership. The initiative is called 'Getting British Business Online.' - GBBO

Your free website package includes access to Yola's unique website building tools, hosting on Yola's small business server, plus, a free .co.uk domain name* of your choice.
Google/Yola's aim is to encourage 100,000 small and medium sized UK businesses to get online. At the end of 2010 around 20,000 new websites were created for small businesses using this service. Initially, when the scheme was launched in 2010 Google used their own web building site creating tool and partnered with BT and Enterprise UK. For more info and some of the best small business advice check out GBBO on YouTube here or go to the link at the top of this page.
In May 2011 Google teamed up with Yola (formerly Synthasite). The innovative Yola free website building tool makes the whole process of building your own small business site much, much easier.
 So, don't hesitate - get your free Google small business website today.


How can we help you?
Well, we intend to use our computer skills and knowledge to build free small business websites for people who feel that they do not have the time or skills to gain their own vital web presence. Everyone has the opportunity to have a free small business website courtesy of Google, Yola and the GBBO scheme. Go check out our - 'Why 'You' need a website'  page in order for you to see why it's so important for your small business to have its own website.
The process of signing up for a free small business website couldn't be easier. You'll be signed up for your own free website plus you'll be the owner of a 'free' .co.uk domain*.
All we ask is that you pay us a ludicriously low fee of £25** per website for the time we take to put your site together. 

 


Wow, that's unbelievably cheap for a website.
What's the catch?


There's no catch. Getting a small business website professionally built can be a long and worthwhile process, but, it can also be a costly one. Ask most professional web builders and they will quote you hundreds of pounds for a small business starter website. A professionally built website could pay for itself with one job or a new contract, but, in difficult economic times it can be a financial outlay that you may not wish to budget for at this particular moment in time.

By taking the Getting British Business Online (GBBO) route you can have a fantastic web presence completely 'Free' of charge if you do it yourself using your own computer skills, or, you could get someone like a family member or friend to do it for you. Everything you need to know about this scheme is on the GBBO website.
Alternatively, if you don't have the time or skills we at 'Getting Wales Online' can build you a small business website using the Yola software at an
unbelievable low price of £25**. £25 is a very small outlay for a small business website that will enhance your small business by giving you a web presence, and, ultimately make you money.

The GBBO website urges people to build their own small business websites which can be up and running in 15 minutes. To be honest this is very true if you have the confidence, experience and time to use the fantastic Yola software. Unfortunately, many, many people do not have the basic computer skills, time or know-how to set up their own website and that is where we come in. We are students, who, in the past would have looked for part time jobs like bar work or car washing during weekends, evenings and holidays in order to provide ourselves with a little spending money - 'Getting Wales Online' is just a different kind of part-time job. We are excited that the outcome will hugely inspire and benefit many small and medium businesses in the communities of Wales and farther afield!

What happens if I decide to leave Yola and have a more expensive website built - am I allowed to take my .co.uk domain name with me?

Remember, when we sign you up you'll own the website, domain name and all of the intellectual property (pictures etc) on the site. A small business website built by us using the Yola software may eventually kick start your thinking towards investing in a more expensive website. So, after several months, if you decide that a more in-depth, expensive site would better serve your business needs then a move down that route will be straightforward for any website designer. A web designer will just need a few basic details from us in order for you to take your domain name with you. Google/Yola state that you cannot move your 'domain' to another server until after a 60 day period.

**The offer is for a 3 page website for the unbelievable low cost of £25. 

Most of the information you provide us with can be given over the telephone, via email, or, if you already have a small business listing on Yell etc we can gather your information from there with your permission. You can also send us pictures via email. We strongly advise you to showcase your small business with pictures. If you'd like us to visit you in order to take pictures of you, your vehicle, business premises or past jobs e.g. projects completed etc then that will incur an extra charge. Extra pages will also incur a very reasonable extra charge but could be well worth it.

* Please be aware that your chosen domain name may not be available as it could already be owned by someone else.
