Web Design in Tiny, Ontario

The local picture in Tiny

An older population reads websites differently: larger text, clear phone and address details, and no hunting for opening hours. In Tiny, where the median age is 55.2, a calm, readable site earns trust faster than a flashy one.

In a town where most households own a single-detached house, home services are a big part of the local economy. Showing past projects and the areas you cover is what customers check first.

What happens once you sign up

We have built business websites for small companies since 2008, with every step handled online. It all runs online, so a Tiny business pays the same CA$119 a month as anyone else in Canada.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 business days.
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.

Ontario rules for a business with a website

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

• Depending on what you do, you may need licences and permits to run your business under federal, provincial or municipal regulations. Ontario.ca: licences and permits
• PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
• 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
