Unless you have the necessary expertise in-house, you’re probably going to need to find someone to:
- Design and develop the site – you’ll need a website design and development agreement.
- Host the site – this will be done by an internet service provider (ISP). Here you might be asked to enter into a website hosting agreement.
- Develop an associated mobile app, if you decide you want one – again, perhaps the developer will ask you to sign up to their development agreement, and also a EULA (end user licence agreement) which is the legal contract between a software application author or publisher and the user of that application. … The user can refuse to enter into the agreement by returning the software product for a refund or clicking “I do not accept” when prompted to accept the EULA during an install
- Help with an App privacy policy – so that individuals are told what will happen to their data.. Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulations sets out the information you’ll need to include in the privacy policy, including what personal information of the user you’ll process, the ‘legal basis’ for using that information and any third parties you’ll be sharing the data with.
- Getting your website visible – The business may also want to engage a “search engine visibility” agency to ensure that the site appears near the top of search engine result lists. This may mean you’ll be asked to enter into a search engine optimization agreement.
It’s a bit of a minefield…
