How the CA$119 plan works

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up 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 say it is ready, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
