Norwich is a place of young families: 23.7% of residents are under 15, against 15.8% across Ontario. That shapes what a good website for a business in Norwich should show first. For CA$119 a month, we set up a professional website with your brand, email on your domain and hosting, with no setup fee.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.

Running a business website from Norwich: the rules
Some homework for Norwich businesses before the website goes live:
- 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
- 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
- Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
