Website development company in Prince Edward Island

Choose WordPress when your team publishes frequently and wants to edit most of the site without calling a developer. Its plugins give you options, although the site will need regular updates to stay secure. A custom Next.js site suits a business that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. Plan for a developer to handle structural changes, even if your team has an editor for content.

The design choice is separate from the platform choice. A custom design gives you room to address a particular audience, brand or content requirement. An adapted template can fit a simple site with a tight brief, provided the layout is reworked around your real copy and images. We recommend WordPress or Next.js after learning how your team works and who will keep the site current. Bring those editing needs into the discussion early, before you settle on how the pages should look.

PIPEDA sets federal rules for personal information collected, used and disclosed by private-sector organisations in commercial activity. For your contact and quote forms, we set up a privacy notice explaining how you handle the information and keep the form fields aligned with the enquiry you need to answer.

If your site collects newsletter sign-ups for commercial messages, Canada’s anti-spam rules affect that form. We set up a consent step and make room for the sender’s current mailing address and an unsubscribe mechanism in the messages you send.

Bring what you have, along with notes on the gaps your team needs to fill.

• Rank the services or products you want to feature, so the home page and navigation can give them the right priority.
• Choose a site goal, such as quote requests or calls, and name the person who handles each enquiry.
• Gather real photos of your team, premises and finished work; book photography ahead if you need it.
• Collect case studies, permitted client logos, testimonials, certifications and memberships in a folder.
• Share websites you like and dislike, with a short reason for each choice.
