What's included with your purchase

  • Ready-to-publish website package — swap logos, colours, photos, images, and content for your own.
  • Online storefront (ecommerce build only) — ready to sell physical or digital products, services, gift cards, or donations.
  • Customizable contact form with submissions sent directly to you by email and saved in a database automatically.
  • Newsletter signup form with exportable subscriber lists.
  • A copy of the real, working site files — not a static mockup — delivered as a ready-to-upload zip file.
  • One of a kind: this exact look is only ever sold once — once purchased, it's retired and a new look is designed, so it's yours alone.
  • 1 year of website hosting with Peniche Communications.1
  • 1 year of website management with Peniche Communications.2
  • Copy edit and proofread of the website content you provide.

What to expect after you buy

To make your new website actually yours, the following information will be needed:

  • A website domain of your choosing (this is the web address or URL your site will use, typically ending in .ca or .com).
  • Your business information (name, colours, logo, photos).
  • Social media handles.
  • A link to your review platform (Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, etc.), if you have one.
  • Webpage content, with special focus on your Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  • Confirmation you'd like Peniche Communications to host your site (or that you're self-hosting).

A checklist arrives by email right after you buy, so nothing gets missed.
