Frequently asked questions

What do you need from me before you can start?

Your content: text, photos, logo files if you have them, and access to your domain. The build clock starts the day that lands, not the day you pay. If you do not have content ready, the Growth build includes copywriting, so we write it with you.

Is the $499 really credited, or is it on top?

Yes, in full. Whichever $499 door you start with, the whole amount comes off your project price. If you decide not to go ahead you keep the work.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The design, the code, the copy and images we produce for you, and your domain are all yours. While you are with us the site is hosted and managed on our infrastructure, which is what the hosting fee covers. If you ever want to bring it in-house or move to another provider, we transfer the code and the hosting project into your own accounts, with no downtime and no exit fee.

Do you work with businesses in the United States?

Yes. Prices here are shown in Canadian dollars and US clients are billed in US dollars. Everything else about how the work runs is identical.

I need more than a website. Can you help with that?

Yes. Alongside websites and Google Business Profile work we build AI automations and systems, and run AI training for teams: workshops that get your staff using the tools safely and well. That work starts with a free 15-minute intro call, then a scoped quote.
