Business websites across Canada, led from Brampton

01The national rules that apply to every Canadian business website

A handful of federal rules reach almost every business website, whatever the province. Privacy comes first. PIPEDA, or the provincial law that replaces it for most businesses in three provinces, decides how you collect, use and protect customer data. When a breach creates a real risk of significant harm, the business reports it to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and tells the people affected.

Email and texting come next. CASL decides who you may send marketing messages to and for how long. A reply to someone's own inquiry needs no marketing consent, but a newsletter does: implied consent from an inquiry runs out after 6 months, and from a purchase or contract after 2 years, unless the person has given express consent through an unticked box.

Prices are the third. The Competition Act matters as soon as your site shows a price, because that price has to include every fixed, mandatory fee. Only amounts imposed by federal or provincial law, such as sales tax, may be added at checkout. A booking page that adds a compulsory service fee at the last step is the pattern the drip pricing rule targets.

Federally regulated businesses carry one more duty. A bank, a telecom or a trucking company operating across provincial or national borders falls under the Accessible Canada Act, and with 10 or more employees it publishes an accessibility plan, a feedback process and progress reports. For those clients we build the website to WCAG 2.1 AA and can publish the plan, feedback process and progress reports in accessible formats. This is general information, not legal advice.

02Province by province: tax, privacy and accessibility

Everything else changes at the provincial border. An online store charges the customer's provincial rate, so a checkout that sells across Canada needs every rate in the table below, and Nova Scotia's change on April 1, 2025 is a reminder to confirm each rate with the CRA before a store goes live. Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia replace PIPEDA with their own private-sector privacy law for most businesses inside the province.

Ontario and Manitoba set website accessibility duties for private businesses: Ontario's applies at 50 or more employees and Manitoba's from the first employee. Quebec adds French-language duties under the Charter and privacy duties under Law 25. Where the table says to check provincial rules, we have not confirmed a private-sector website rule there and you should check the province's current position.

03British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and the other provinces

These provinces have no page of their own on this site, and the table is what changes a business website there. A British Columbia store registers for and charges GST and PST as two separate taxes, and the province's own Personal Information Protection Act covers most businesses' customer data. Saskatchewan also pairs GST with a separate PST, while Nova Scotia and the three other Atlantic provinces use one combined HST line.

Nothing about the way we work changes by province. We have no office outside Brampton, every project in these provinces runs by phone, video call and email, and the published prices, the written quote and the ownership terms are the same for a client in Victoria as for one in Moncton.

04Which Redenn products fit Canadian businesses

Launch (CA$99) is a ready-made, template-based one-page site. 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. Larger sites run from Starter (CA$299, three pages) through Business (CA$499, five pages with Search Setup) to Business Plus (CA$799, booking and a blog). A business that wants leads handled rather than collected starts at the Growth System, from CA$1,299.

Stores that sell across provinces start at Ecommerce, from CA$1,499, with tax set by the customer's province. Payment processing fees are billed by the payment processor to your own account. Hosting is optional: we can host a typical business site on Redenn Business at CA$199/year, or hand the site over for you to host.

Our Canadian portfolio shows the range. Jagbir Transport (asset-based trucking, Toronto) and Stefano's Inc. (grocery freight and logistics) sell to shippers. Empire Framing Inc. (custom framing across Manitoba, the GTA, Alberta and Ontario) and Synergy Homes Inc. (design-build custom homes in Winnipeg and the Manitoba Capital Region) sell on project credibility. GSS Driving School in Sunnyside, Manitoba, near Winnipeg, sells a booked lesson.

Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude taxes. Any tax that applies is shown separately on your invoice.

05Local search and AI search across Canada

A business serving several provinces should not publish one near-identical page per city; Google treats that as doorway pages. Build one page per genuinely different service area, with its own facts, projects and contact details, plus a Google Business Profile for each physical location.

Google says there are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode: a page has to be indexed and eligible to show in Google Search with a snippet, and standard search practice applies. ChatGPT search uses OpenAI's OAI-SearchBot crawler, which robots.txt can allow or block separately from GPTBot. Our Search + AI Foundation sets the crawler policy, entity clarity and IndexNow. We do not promise rankings or AI citations.
