No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.

Sussex businesses and what their websites need
Sussex had 277 employer businesses in June 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across New Brunswick, with what each one’s website should show:
- Sporting goods, hobby, book and gift stores (11 locations): the product range and events or classes they host.
- Building supply and garden centres (6 locations): the main product lines and a quote form for larger orders.
- Grocers, bakeries and specialty food stores (8 locations): products and prices and opening hours.
- Restaurants, cafés and bars (17 locations): the menu with prices and how to book a table or a private event by email.
- Insurance brokers and financial advisers (5 locations): regulatory details and who the advisers are.
Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to reach you.
The jobs residents hold are mostly in health care and social assistance (15.3%), retail trade (13.6%) and educational services (10.4%).
