Bright is a homeowners’ town: 92.2% of households own, and most live in single-detached houses (88.5%). A website for a Bright business has to work for neighbours who already know you and for people searching from further away. Our CA$119 plan covers the website or online store, your domain, email and hosting, ready within 3 business days on a temporary link.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.
What makes Bright different
Being part of the Fredericton census metropolitan area means customers from Bright also look at businesses across the whole metro area. A website that makes clear you are local, with your address and the neighbourhoods you serve, gives you an edge over larger competitors further away.
