then the name of the website or company at the base of any page. you then get the copyright symbol - a 'C' inside a circle and you have claimed copyright on that website. The design must be unique and indivdual if you wish to pursue a claim if you find an infringement - very hard to do...
The copyright is automatic once you publish the site, you don't have to apply for anything or add any copyright symbols to the page.
Like Smeggle says though, proving original design is almost impossible. You could put the design on a CD and send it to yourself registered delivery and keep it sealed. This could be proof that you possessed the design on a particular date.
If it a service/process that you're wanting to protect then you're looking at a software patent which don't really exist in Europe and are pretty evil anyway. You just need to expect to be copied and keep innovating.
It's an extremely grey area.
I wasn't saying that copyright protects only the design. I was just saying that the design & process/service are two separate things (copyright & patent are pretty much the same thing).
It's fairly pointless copyrighting/patenting either to be honest.
