Crossroads is a place of young families: 20.2% of residents are under 15, against 15.3% across Prince Edward Island. Those numbers say a lot about what a Crossroads business website needs to do. Our team designs your website for CA$119 a month: domain, email and hosting included, with no setup fee.
No setup fee: you only pay the CA$119 monthly fee after you approve your website.
The local picture in Crossroads
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.
The business mix in Crossroads
Crossroads had 59 employer businesses in June 2026. The sectors below are more common here than across Prince Edward Island, with what each one’s website should show:
- Specialty trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (10): emergency contact details and hours and a quote form that lands in their inbox.
- Professional services such as accountants, lawyers and engineers (8): the services and who they are for and the team with qualifications.
- Farms and agricultural businesses (6): where to buy their products and seasonal opening times.
- Clinics, dentists, physiotherapists and other health offices (3): the treatments offered and hours and how to reach the clinic.
Small firms dominate: 64.4% had fewer than five employees. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to reach you.
The jobs residents hold are mostly in health care and social assistance (18.5%), public administration (13.0%) and retail trade (12.0%).

Prince Edward Island 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:
- PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation
