well from what i know its not a registed yet?
she just as a diary with 16 customers in and they ring when they want stuff doing.
she as only being doing it since crimbo but wants to get more customers to go full time, so all the family have said advertising will help.
i just wanna know how much a web name and hosting etc will cost.

www.i-websolutions.co.uk
£16 a YEAR gets you 100MB of space and 2GB of bandwidth per month (plus more like databases, subdomains, email addresses etc), which will be perfectly fine for a few pages and a decent site 
For domains i use 1and1.co.uk for .co.uk domains as its £4 for two years
p.s - have recommended i-websolutions to quite a few people and they have said it was good value for uk hosted servers (can get cheaper but are hosted abroad, so slower).

Hosting can be as low as £20 a year.
Domain name will be about £5-£15 depending on what you want. You will want a .co.uk or a .com really...
Design can be pretty expensive, unless you know somone who knows how to do it and will do it on the cheap...

Also, when choosing a host remember there is not such thing as unlimited bandwidth, its a con and you will get screwed somewhere for it!
And ed, host can be cheaper than 20 quid a year and .co.uk can be little as 2 quid a year 
btw, if you want a .com cheapest i have see is around 8 quid a year (so 16 quid every 2 years vs 4 quid for 2 years for a .co.uk).
as for design i would ask around and see if a friend will do it, or try it yourself. Usually you get screwed over by design companies, ripping you a new arse in the process for something that looks nothing like what you asked, then get you to pay more to fix it

£2 a year, awsome. I'm setting up a new site soon, just sorting out how we're going to program it as it's going to be a custom CMS. Doing it on the cheap so cost saving stuff is always good

If you are self employed you have to inform the IR within 3 months. Plus if you haven't earned over your tax allowence then you don't need to pay tax, and unless she charges loads I doubt she has done that with 16 customers.
