hi,
with regard to the new website regulations (basically requiring clear
publication of a companies reg no., VAT details etc. on their website),
there is also a requirement as follows:

> The name of the service provider must be given somewhere easily accessibl=
e on
> the site. This might differ from the trading name and any such difference
> should be explained =AD e.g. "XYZ.com is the trading name of XYZ Enterprise=
s
> Limited.

> The email address of the service provider must be given. It is not suffic=
ient
> 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 addr=

e
> included in any event.

( from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/12/21/new_web_email_regulation )

my question is: how does this affect a web designer/developer? do they mean
the name of just the hosting company? or does the designer/developers
details also need to be included?

thanks,
