Three steps to a website for your Howley business
Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Howley as in any other town in Canada: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.
- Answer the short sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
- You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
- A business website or an online store, for the same monthly fee
- Your own domain: bring the one you have, or we help you pick one
- Email on your domain: unlimited accounts, 5 GB in total, webmail and spam filtering
- Hosting, an SSL certificate and a daily backup
- Text, photo and price updates whenever you email us
- Ready within 3 business days on a temporary link
