Website Footer/Required information

[SueEllen]

Thanks a lot. So all this inforamtion hasn't got to be in the footer/all the pages, an About us page will suffice?

Have a look at some major UK retailers websites for example amazon.co.uk, tescos, sainsburys.

About the geographical address...interesting...I'm paying my accountants to use their address, so I guess I will have to use that one...I will check with them first.

No need to check you are allowed to put it on there.

The UK's E-Commerce Regulations

Minimum information to be provided
Service providers, whether involved in e-commerce or not, should provide the following minimum information, which must be easily, directly and permanently accessible:

• The name of the service provider must be given somewhere easily accessible on the site. This might differ from the trading name and any such difference should be explained – e.g. "XYZ.com is the trading name of XYZ Enterprises Limited."
  
• The email address of the service provider must be given. It is not sufficient to include a 'contact us' form without also providing an email address.
• The geographic address of the service provider must be given. A PO Box is unlikely to suffice as a geographic address; but a registered office address would. If the business is a company, the registered office address must be included in any event.
• If a company, the company's registration number should also be given.
• If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details, including any registration number, should be provided.
• If the business has a VAT number, it should be stated – even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.
• Prices on the website must be clear and unambiguous. Also, state whether prices are inclusive of tax and delivery costs.

Good afternoon

I've created a small website for my LTD, bought domain, etc etc. I've dono some google searchs and apaprently the only information required is

Copyright, Company Name, Company Number and VAT Number.

Is this correct? Any input will be very much appreciated

Cheers

I suspect you might find some contact information useful...

Doesn't have to be in a footer, mine's in a separate page labelled "About".
