The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. The plan is the same in Arctic Bay as in any other town in Canada: one monthly fee, everything arranged by email.

1. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. No more than 3 business days later, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
