What makes Hilton different
An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear phone and address details, and no hunting for opening hours. In Hilton, where the median age is 56.8, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

Rules to know before your Hilton website goes live
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- In Ontario, you need to register your sole proprietorship if you are not using your own name as your business name, and a business name registration is valid for 5 years. Ontario.ca: business names
- Since January 1, 2021, the AODA has required a business or non-profit organization with 50 or more employees to make its public websites accessible: web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, with some exceptions. Ontario.ca: accessible websites (AODA)
- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation
