Own your website. Pay for it monthly.
Pay $2,000 once, or $189 a month for a year. Same custom-built site either way, and at the end of the plan you own everything outright: the code, the design, the content. This is not a rental. Twelve payments and it is yours.
Almost every pay-monthly website in Canada is a rental. This one is not.
Wix, Squarespace, and the pay-monthly agencies all run the same meter: you pay every month, forever, and the day you stop, the site is gone. Two or three years in, you have often paid double what a custom build costs and you own nothing.
Own It Monthly flips that. The monthly payment is the same kind of money, but it is buying something. At payment 12 the meter stops and the website is yours outright, the same way a work truck on payments ends up in your driveway with your name on it.
Full comparison with the real math: rent vs own your website in Canada.
Both prices on the table, always.
Every plan runs 12 monthly payments. Start with nothing at signing, or start with 25 or 50 percent and watch the monthly drop. Most people take the Head Start.
| Package | Pay once | Trail Start ($0 to begin) | Head Start (25% to begin) | Summit Start (50% to begin) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Trailhead | $2,000 | $189/mo$2,268 total | $500 + $142/mo | $1,000 + $94/mo |
| Shopify Storefront | $5,000 | $469/mo$5,628 total | $1,250 + $352/mo | $2,500 + $234/mo |
| The Engine | $6,500 | $609/mo$7,308 total | $1,625 + $457/mo | $3,250 + $304/mo |
| Shopify Masterpiece | $9,500 | $889/mo$10,668 total | $2,375 + $667/mo | $4,750 + $444/mo |
Empire builds and custom web apps use milestone billing instead. The 10 percent Kootenay neighbour rate applies to the base price before plan pricing, same as always. Your monthly is locked at signing and never changes.
Five steps. One page of plain English.
Pick your package and your start
Choose the build (Trailhead, Engine, or a Shopify store) and how you want to begin: start with nothing, or start with 25 or 50 percent and shrink the monthly from there.
Sign one plain-English page
The whole plan fits on a page. Your first payment starts the clock and the build.
I build it, usually 2 to 3 weeks for a Trailhead
Same custom build, same copywriting, same SEO foundations as a pay-in-full project. Nothing is watered down.
Live the day you approve it
The site launches as soon as it is built and you have signed off. It never waits on the payment schedule.
Twelve payments and it is yours
At the final payment the code, design, and content transfer to you outright. Your domain was in your name from day one.
No fine print, and nothing that bites you later.
You own it at the end
This is not a rental. Wix and the pay-monthly agencies keep the site forever; here, payment 12 makes it yours outright.
No banks, no credit checks
A simple payment plan between you and me. No applications, no approvals, no fine print. Both totals are on the table from the first conversation.
Your domain, your name, day one
The domain is registered to you from the start, so nothing is ever held hostage.
Pay it off early, no penalty
Any time, at the remaining balance. Pay in full within 60 days and I honour the pay-once price. Your monthly never changes mid-plan.
Send me a business that signs, and I will e-transfer you $200. Anyone. Every time.
On a plan, that roughly covers a month. Prefer it as credit toward your own project or support? Your call. Paid when their first payment clears, or payment 2 if they choose the plan. No referring yourself, no limit ever. Just have them mention your name.
Own It Monthly, question by question.
Is this a loan or financing?
No. It is a simple payment plan between you and me. No banks, no credit checks, no applications. You pick a plan, payments run monthly, and the site becomes yours at the final payment.
What does it cost in total?
Both prices are always on the table. The Trailhead, for example, is $2,000 paid once or $2,268 over twelve months at $189/mo. The difference is the price of spreading it out, and a larger starting payment shrinks it.
When does my website go live?
As soon as it is built and you have approved it, usually two to three weeks after your first payment for a Trailhead, longer for bigger builds like Shopify stores. It never waits on the payment schedule.
What happens if I miss a payment?
The card retries automatically and I will give you a friendly heads-up. If it stays unpaid for a week the site pauses, it is never deleted, and it comes back the moment you catch up. Every plan also includes one 30-day pause for a rough month, no questions asked.
Can I pay it off early?
Any time, at the remaining balance, with no penalty. Pay it off within the first 60 days and I honour the pay-in-full price.
Who owns the website?
You do, fully, at the final payment: code, design, and content. Your domain is registered in your name from day one, so it is never held hostage. Until the plan completes, I host and look after the site.
Which packages can I put on a plan?
Every website package except the Empire: the Trailhead, the Engine, and both Shopify builds. Larger builds use milestone billing instead.
The ownership question, answered from every angle.
Do not take my word for the pay-to-own case. These guides lay out the numbers, the fine print of the subscription builders, and what ownership actually means, so you can decide with the receipts in front of you.
Own It Monthly
Every payment climbs. Twelve months and it is yours outright.
Tell me about your business and which package fits. I will bring both prices, the plan on one page, and a straight answer about whether this is right for you.
