The legal basics for Augusta businesses online

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• In Ontario, you need to register your sole proprietorship if you are not using your own name as your business name, and a business name registration is valid for 5 years. Ontario.ca: business names
• The Ontario Business Registry lets businesses and not-for-profit corporations complete over 90 transactions online, including registering, incorporating and updating their information. Ontario Business Registry
• PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
• An online transaction worth more than $50 is covered by Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, and the business must disclose certain information to the customer before the transaction is completed. Ontario.ca: online shopping

The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. From Augusta, the plan is identical: CA$119 a month, and we keep in touch by email.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and send your logo, photos and service list by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

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