What is included every month
Every package starts with a site build and launch, plus source and accuracy checks, search data and a monthly report. Monthly budgets are up to 1 prepared improvement for Foundation, 2 for Core and 4 for Growth; each is one site change for your approval, and an improvement is not promised every month. The package also sets topic-area coverage and pace.
Growth adds deeper reporting, writing about rules with sign-off staying yours, and a direct line to us.
Compare every featureThe useful question
How much work should your website keep doing after its first day?
We will talk through the size and shape of your business before recommending a package.
Not a template feed
Content is planned around a business's specialty and local market. The aim is to make a useful page a customer can act on, not add pages just to inflate a count.
Start with the work and customers that matter most to your business.
Pages answer questions that matter in the places you serve.
The site is built on your domain and remains yours if you leave.
Compare the first year
For Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy, total twelve plan payments, paid apps, domain renewal and the time you spend building and updating. For Living Websites, compare twelve monthly payments: every current plan has $0 setup. Builder plans and renewal terms vary, so use the exact plan you would choose.
The free static site costs $0 at <name>.foundsite.ca. The own-domain static site is CA$19/month with $0 setup; Foundation is CA$49/month, Core CA$149/month and Growth CA$397/month, each with $0 setup.
One thing before you choose
It keeps the ongoing work in motion after your site goes live.
Each tier covers a different number of topic areas and has its own publishing cadence. Growth also includes deeper reporting, writing about rules with your sign-off and a direct line to Living Websites.
