Squarespace alternative for Canadian businesses

Leaving Squarespace? I'll rebuild your site for free.

Squarespace's annual plans run roughly US$16 to $52 a month, and a lot of Canadian businesses end up paying $300 to $500 a year, in US dollars, for a template they built themselves. Send me your Squarespace link and I'll rebuild it as a custom site, for free. Keep it online for $9/month*, billed in Canadian dollars.

Free build with 2 rounds of revisions · See it live before you pay anything · Month-to-month, cancel any time

Promo: free full SEO overhaul with every new site (usually $59)

Questions, answered

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if it's done right. I keep the same page addresses where possible, and set up redirects for any that change.

Can I still edit my site myself?

Yes. Send me changes by email and they're done as part of your plan, or I can set you up to make edits yourself.

When should I cancel Squarespace?

Only after your new site is live on your domain and you've signed off on it. Check your Squarespace renewal date so you're not charged for another year.

How is the website actually free?

I'd rather earn $9 a month* from a hundred happy local businesses than charge one of them $5,000 up front. I build your site for free with two rounds of revisions. If you love it, you keep it online for $9/month*. If you don't, you owe nothing. I love building sites for free, and a lot of those clients come back to me when they're ready for something bigger, like an online store or a custom build.

Do I own the website?

Yes. You get the complete source code. Host it anywhere, change it, or hand it to another developer. Unlike Wix or Squarespace, nothing is locked to my service.

How long does it take?

Most sites are designed, built and launched within days, not months. You'll get a live preview link while I work.

Send me your link. I'll rebuild it free.

Free to build. Free to see. $9/month* only if you love it.
