How the CA$119 plan works

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Wherever in Alberta you are, the plan is identical: CA$119 a month, and email is how we talk.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 business days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

After it goes live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
