Small business websites

Affordable small business websites for small businesses: we build your website for you, with a free .ca domain, hosting, SSL and email on your domain. From $19.99 a month, with no upfront payment.

The importance of having a website

Before they call, email or visit, most customers look you up on Google. These three things make sure what they find works in your favour.

01

Domain name

Your own .ca domain, free from the Starter plan, with email on it: hello@yourbusiness.ca looks far more established than a Gmail address, and it's set up for you.

02

Responsive design

Every page adapts to mobiles, tablets and computers, so customers can read your services, see your prices and contact you from whatever they're using.

03

Ongoing support

Hosting, SSL, backups and content changes are part of the monthly plan. You ask by email and we update the website for you, or you do it yourself from a simple dashboard.

Affordable small business websites

A small business website usually means a one-off design fee followed by separate bills for hosting, email and every change. We work the other way round: one monthly payment from $19.99, with design, hosting, domain, SSL and email included, no contract, and nothing to pay until you've approved the finished site.

We write the copy for your customers, not in generic agency language, and set up the details people check before buying. Your business name, services, prices and contact details are easy to find on every page.

  • Your business name and contact details on every page
  • A projects section that shows your work
  • Copy written for your customers, not generic
  • We work with small businesses in every province

Small business website FAQs

How much does a small business website cost per month?

With us it starts at $19.99 a month, including design, hosting, a .ca domain, SSL and business email. A business with more services to show usually goes for the Business plan at $29.99 a month. And you only pay once you've seen the finished website.

The price is fixed from the start: no separate charges for hosting, email or maintenance.

What should a small business website contain?

The essentials: a home page that says clearly what you do and where, a page for each service with prices or a guide price where possible, an about page, examples of your work, and a contact page with a form and opening hours.

With that, a customer can understand what you offer and get in touch in a couple of minutes.

Why should a small business have a website?

Because it's the one place online you own. Social media is useful for day-to-day posts, but someone else sets the rules and the algorithm, and a Facebook page doesn't show up well when a customer searches for your service on Google.

Your own website, on your own domain, gathers your services, prices and contact details in one place, and works for you even when you're not posting.

Are there hidden costs when building a website?

Not with us. Hosting, SSL, backups, the domain (from Starter) and email are all in the monthly price. Depending on the plan you get 5 mailboxes (Basic), 10 (Starter), 15 (Business) or unlimited (Ecommerce), all on your domain, and we send written instructions to set them up on your phone and computer.

No contract and no setup fee: you can cancel anytime.

How long does a website design take?

3 to 5 business days. We only need what you already have: your business name, logo, a description of your services and any photos. Our team writes the copy, builds the structure and publishes the website.

You review it working on a real link, ask for any changes and only pay once you approve it.
