Common questions

FAQ

Do I need my own domain?
No. Your site lives at islandservices.ca/your-business-name. Your own domain can come later if you want it.
Do I need tech skills?
No. This is personal hosting, not DIY website software. Email kate@islandservices.ca anything you need — hours, phone, services — and we take care of it.
What’s the 45-day complimentary period?
Your website is already live at no charge for 45 days. To keep it after that, email kate@islandservices.ca — about ~$25 CAD/mo. We host and maintain.
Can I change hours or the phone number?
Yes — tell us what to update and we edit the listing. (Self-serve editor is not in Week 1.)
Will you email me a bunch of stuff?
No email blast. For CASL we text you the link after a call — we don’t harvest email as the only path. This page has no email signup form. Mailto to Kate is fine if you prefer to reach out first.
Are these real live sites?
Yes — complimentary live websites for 45 days, with a clear banner. Email Kate to keep yours (~$25 CAD/mo). We host and maintain.
What if I already have a website?
This is for Island businesses that need a simple, phone-friendly page — or a clean live example to compare. No pressure.
