How the CA$119 plan works

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first CA$119 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.
