Dog field website design that shows the fence, the ground and the gate before the drive

Your pages, the features on them, the final price and the timescale, in writing before you pay a deposit. Hosting, care and any ongoing SEO are listed separately, so you can see what is one-off and what is monthly. On the Business package the first year of hosting and care is included.

It depends on the land and on your council, so the website should never guess. In England and Wales, planning law counts a material change in the use of land as development, and using land for agriculture is not development. Government guidance for England says there is no statutory definition of a material change of use: whether one has happened is a matter of fact and degree, decided case by case. Using land for any purpose on no more than 28 days in a calendar year needs no application in England or Wales, and Scotland has a similar 28-day rule. If you are not sure, ask your council; in England you can apply for a lawful development certificate, which gives a legally binding answer. In Northern Ireland, ask your council too. Once you know, the site can say so in a line.

Under the national rules for England and Wales, a fence or gate is permitted development up to 1 metre high next to a highway used by vehicles and up to 2 metres elsewhere, though not around a listed building. Scotland measures from the road instead: 1 metre within 20 metres of a road, 2 metres elsewhere. Those rules cover the fence itself, not the use of the field. Put the height and the type of fence on the website, as the demo does with its sample 1.8m perimeter fence, so an owner can judge it against their own dog.

Only if you could prove it, and no field can promise that for every dog. Your own website comes under the CAP Code, which says marketing must not materially mislead and that claims a reader is likely to take as fact need documentary evidence held before you publish. Escape-proof and fully secure are claims of that kind. Describe what you have built instead: the height and type of fence, how the gate closes, what runs along the bottom of the fence line and how often you walk it. The demo puts it simply: no fence is a guarantee for every dog, so owners check the boundary and stay with their dogs.

Not from everything. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which applies across the UK, a business cannot use a contract term or a notice to exclude or limit its liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and a customer does not accept the risk just because they saw the notice. In England and Wales the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957 adds that a warning does not clear the occupier unless it was enough to keep the visitor reasonably safe; Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Acts. So the website does more good describing the real conditions: the uneven ground, the lane, the gate, what to bring. Ask your insurer about cover; we write the pages, not the policy.

Not under England's animal licensing rules, as we read them. The 2018 regulations license boarding for cats and dogs, which covers kennels, home boarding and day care for other people's dogs, along with selling pets, breeding dogs, hiring out horses and keeping animals for exhibition. Hiring out a field where owners stay with their own dogs is not on that list. That is our reading, not a ruling, so check with your council before you open, and if your field is in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, ask there. The website helps by saying, as the demo does, that owners supervise their own dogs and the field offers no day care.

Put the total, or how to work it out, next to the headline price. Since 6 April 2025 the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 treats leaving out the total price, or how it is calculated when it cannot be worked out in advance, as a misleading omission, and the CMA's guidance says a 'from' price must include every charge the customer has to pay. For a field, that means the price for one dog, what each extra dog adds and what a longer slot costs, side by side. The demo shows a sample price for one dog and says extras would be agreed; on your site we list them.
