15.8% of adults aged 25 to 64 in Bassano hold an apprenticeship or trades certificate, above the Alberta share of 9.6%. A website for a Bassano business has to work for neighbours who already know you and for people searching from further away. For CA$119 a month, we set up a professional website with your brand, email on your domain and hosting, with no setup fee.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.

What Alberta asks of a business online
Putting your business online does not change the rules, but a few rules are worth checking:
- 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
- Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau

How long until my website is ready?
Within 3 business days of receiving your material, the website is ready on a temporary link. It goes live on your domain once you approve it and the first monthly fee is paid.
I already own a domain. Can I keep it?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
Do we need to meet?
We work online from start to finish. You email your logo, photos and texts, and you approve the site on a temporary link.
I also work in Rosemary. Can the website show that?
Yes. Email us the towns you serve (say Rosemary, Hussar and Milo) and they go on a service area page.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website. No long-term contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
