SQUAMISH, British Columbia, October 19, 2026 —
For a café, a contractor or a hair salon, a professional website can cost $3,000 to $10,000 up front at an agency. FreeSite Company, a web design studio in Squamish, British Columbia, is taking that cost off the table: it builds small businesses a custom website for free.
How it works
Business owners apply online in about two minutes. FreeSite Company designs and builds a custom, hand-coded site, with two full rounds of revisions, and the owner sees the finished site live before paying anything.
If they love it, keeping it online with hosting and support costs $9.99 a month, with no contract. If they don't, they walk away and owe nothing.
- Free custom build, never a template
- Two rounds of revisions included
- See it live first, then decide
- $9.99/month only if you keep it
- You own the code, with nothing locked to the service
Why it matters
Many small businesses either go without a website or spend their evenings wrestling with a website builder. FreeSite Company's founder, Jeremy, a web designer and photographer based in Squamish, wants to remove the up-front cost that keeps local businesses off the web.
The company has also launched a free blog with plain-English advice for small business owners, including what a website really costs in Canada, how Wix and Squarespace compare with a custom site, and a local SEO checklist for BC businesses.
Applications are open now at freesitecompany.com.
