Ownership
Who owns my website and domain?Example
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.
Ask any provider
- Whose account holds the domain?
- Is the site locked to one builder?
- Whose login holds the analytics?
With Redenn

- Standard Next.js code
- Every login, including analytics and Search Console, handed over once paid
Can I leave Redenn later?Example
Yes. You can move the code, the domain and the hosting to any provider. We never hold a client domain hostage.

Hosting and domains
Which hosting plan do I need?Example

Can I use a .ca domain?Example
If you meet CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements, for example as a Canadian corporation, citizen or permanent resident.
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?Example
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.

Canada-specific
Does my website need to be in French?Example
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.
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?Example
Under CASL you need consent, clear identification and a working unsubscribe mechanism for commercial electronic messages.
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
