Everything a UK business website or online shop should have in place before going live – legal information, privacy and cookies, consumer selling rules, pricing, reviews, accessibility, intellectual property, security and user content.
Starting a business
Website Launch Legal and Compliance Checklist
About this document
A website has to meet a surprising number of legal requirements: company and contact details, a privacy notice, cookie consent, clear pricing, consumer cancellation rights, and rules on reviews and advertising. Getting it wrong can mean regulatory fines, unenforceable terms or complaints. This checklist helps you check your site before it launches, and again whenever you make significant changes.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
