Are there costs you do not control?

Yes, and we name them: payment processing fees and third-party subscriptions are billed by those providers. Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first.

MonthlyCA$49/mo

Computed from the published price list. Payment processor fees (for example Stripe) are charged by the processor per transaction. Some booking and calendar tools charge their own subscription. Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first. Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.

Ownership

Who owns my website and domain?

You own it all. Your domain is registered in your name from the start. Once the project is paid, the code and content we create are yours: at handover you get the code and every login, or we keep managing the accounts for you on a paid plan. If you ever move to another developer, you take everything with you. Launch and Starter sites are built from Redenn templates. Your written quote says whether the template code is transferred to you or licensed for your site. If you want us to manage the domain, our management fee is CA$9.99/year, on top of the registrar's price.

Example: what you hold at the end of a project

Ask any provider

  • Whose account holds the domain?
  • Is the site locked to one builder?
  • Whose login holds the analytics?

With Redenn

  • Domain in your name from the start
  • Standard Next.js code
  • Every login, including analytics and Search Console, handed over once paid
Can I leave Redenn later?

Yes. You can move the code, the domain and the hosting to any provider. We never hold a client domain hostage.

Example: moving to another provider
  1. 1

    Ask for a handover

    One email is enough.

  2. 2

    Receive the code and accounts

    Repository, hosting export and admin access.

  3. 3

    Transfer or repoint the domain

    It is already in your name.

Timelines

How long does a website take?

Launch: 3 to 5 business days after content is received. Business: 8 to 12 business days after content is received. Growth System: 3 to 5 weeks after content is received.

Example: a Business site for a physiotherapy clinic
  1. 1

    Accept the written quote

    Work starts once the first payment is in.

  2. 2

    Send copy, photos and logo

    Or add copywriting per page.

  3. 3

    Review on a private staging link

    Two revision rounds included.

    8 to 12 business days after content is received

How fast do I get a quote?

A written quote with scope, price and a ship date arrives within two business days.

Hosting and domains

Which hosting plan do I need?

Most business sites fit Redenn Business at CA$199/year. Sites with bookings, logins or a database need Redenn Dynamic at CA$49/month. Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first. Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.

Example: a bakery site versus a client portal

Bakery: Redenn Business, CA$199/year

  • Menu, hours and contact form
  • Pages served from a CDN
  • No database needed

Portal: Redenn Dynamic, CA$49/month

  • Customer logins
  • Orders stored in a database
  • Monitoring included
Can I use a .ca domain?

If you meet CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements, for example as a Canadian corporation, citizen or permanent resident.

Example: a Brampton trucking company

A company incorporated in Canada can register its .ca in the company name. Many also register the matching .com and point it at the .ca so nobody else can use it.

Automation and CRM

What does the AI Receptionist do?

It answers calls you miss, captures the caller's need and details, books or routes them, and messages you a summary. It says it is an AI assistant at the start of each call and whenever asked. It costs from CA$149/month. Usage (AI, call minutes, SMS, email) is billed by each provider directly to your own account; none is included in our prices. Ask about a trial period to see your real usage first.

Example: a plumber on a job when the phone rings
  1. 1

    The call is answered

    Instead of going to voicemail.

  2. 2

    The caller's need is captured

    Address, problem and how urgent it is.

  3. 3

    You get a text summary

    Urgent jobs are flagged.

  4. 4

    You call back ready

    With the details already in your CRM.

Do I need a CRM?

If inquiries arrive from several places and some get lost, yes. CRM Setup is from CA$299.

Example: inquiries before and after a CRM

Before

  • Web forms in one inbox
  • Calls in a notebook
  • Follow-ups remembered, or not

After

  • Every lead in one pipeline
  • Source tracked for each lead
  • Reminders so nothing goes cold

Canada-specific

Does my website need to be in French?

Quebec's Charter of the French Language, as amended by Bill 96, requires businesses operating in Quebec to make their commercial websites and publications available in French; other languages can sit alongside. The OQLF publishes the details. How far it reaches a business based outside Quebec is not settled, so a Quebec lawyer should confirm. This is general information, not legal advice.

Example: an Ottawa restaurant with customers in Gatineau

Whether the Charter applies to an Ontario restaurant taking online orders from Quebec is a question for a Quebec lawyer. French versions of the menu, ordering and policy pages, written or reviewed by a professional, serve those customers either way.

Does AODA apply to my Ontario business?

Ontario's Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation requires designated public sector organizations and organizations with 50 or more employees in Ontario to make their public websites and web content conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA, except live captions (1.2.4) and pre-recorded audio description (1.2.5). The rule covers sites they control and content published after January 1, 2012. Businesses and non-profits with 20 or more employees in Ontario also file an accessibility compliance report every three years; 2026 is a reporting year, with the report due December 31, 2026. We build client sites to WCAG 2.1 AA either way. This is general information, not legal advice.

Which privacy law applies to my website?

PIPEDA governs how businesses handle personal information in their commercial activities across Canada. Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia have their own private-sector privacy laws, recognized as substantially similar, which apply inside those provinces. PIPEDA still applies there to federally regulated businesses, such as banks, telecoms and interprovincial trucking, and to information that crosses provincial or national borders. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can I email my customers a newsletter?

Under CASL you need consent, clear identification and a working unsubscribe mechanism for commercial electronic messages.

Example: a newsletter signup done right

Falls short of CASL

  • Pre-ticked consent box
  • No sender name or mailing address
  • No unsubscribe link

What CASL asks for

  • An unticked box the customer checks, stating the purpose
  • Your business name, mailing address and a contact in every email
  • A free unsubscribe, honoured within 10 business days
