01Halifax context

Why Halifax websites still look like 2014.

Halifax's small business mix is fishing-and-tourism-adjacent — restaurants on Argyle and Lower Water, lobster shops near the harbour, B&Bs along Inglis Street, plus the long tail of marine-services suppliers around the docks. Most of the websites in this mix were built once by a relative or a freelancer and haven't been touched since.

Maritimes agency rates run $7 000–$25 000 CAD plus retainer — modest by national standards, but still a non-trivial chunk of a small business's marketing budget. For a six-room B&B in the South End or a four-person family restaurant on Quinpool, that money buys a season of marketing or a needed kitchen hire.

We replace the agency-and-Wix dilemma with a fixed monthly CAD price. Design, hosting on a global edge network, the .ca domain, ongoing content updates, and PIPEDA-aligned data handling are all in one bill — built for the cruise-ship visitor and the in-from-Mainland tourist alike.

02Local context

What we typically build.

Hospitality & restaurants

Restaurants, pubs, and seafood houses

Menus that update via email, opening hours linked to NS stat holidays, structured data for restaurant snippets, and a reservation route that produces a real booking — not a Resy-equivalent that takes another monthly fee.

Maritime services

Marine suppliers, charter operators, dock services

A clear capability page, downloadable spec sheets, structured data for B2B contact, and a quote-request route that produces a real conversation with procurement — not a generic contact form that sits in nobody's inbox.

Small retail

Boutiques, gift shops, makers' markets

Mobile-first product pages, Stripe and Moneris checkouts, courier integrations for inside-NS and inter-province two-day, and a clean photography pipeline for the visual end of Halifax retail.

04Common questions

What owners ask.

Do you handle .ca domains, or only .com?
Both. We register and renew .ca alongside .com, and connect any existing domain registered through Hover, GoDaddy.ca, or any CIRA-accredited registrar.
Can the site take orders without a separate platform?
Yes. The Commerce plan integrates Stripe and Moneris so a South End boutique sells online and an Argyle Street restaurant takes deposits — without a monthly fee to a separate platform.
Is NS HST handled correctly at checkout?
Yes. We handle NS HST at the right rate, and emit invoices that satisfy CRA requirements out of the box.
What happens if I cancel — do I lose my content?
No. You own the domain and content. We export the site files and transfer the domain to any registrar you nominate. Thirty days' notice; no exit fee.
