Canada
Websites for Canadian clinics, salons and trades
From Vancouver to Halifax, on a call schedule that overlaps your morning. Built with Canadian rules in mind: PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25, CASL, and Interac where it matters.
Working with a remote studio from Canada
- Time zone
- Nine to thirteen hours ahead of Canada. Your morning is our evening, and we keep those hours for calls.
- Payments
- Card payments through Stripe or Square
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Deposits at booking through the booking tool. Interac e-Transfer is not something we can take, so we do not pretend otherwise.
- Domain
- .ca, registered in your name. If you already own a .com we point it at the same site.
- Invoicing
- Prices on the site are in US dollars. If you prefer a CAD invoice at the exchange rate on the day, ask.
What changes for a Canadian business
PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25
A privacy policy that says what you collect and why, consent on forms, and, for Quebec businesses, the Law 25 requirements on cookies and a named privacy officer. Built into the site, not bolted on.
French for Quebec (Law 96)
Quebec businesses need French first. We build bilingual sites where every page exists in both languages with correct hreflang tags. You write or approve the French; we do not machine-translate a page about your business.
CASL for email and SMS
Appointment reminders are transactional and fine. Marketing needs express consent, so forms get a separate, unticked consent box with a record of when it was ticked.
Accessibility (AODA in Ontario)
Ontario's AODA points at WCAG 2.0 AA; we build to 2.2 AA everywhere, so the requirement is met by default.

What Canadian businesses ask first
Can you build a bilingual site for Quebec?
Yes. Businesses in Quebec need French first under Law 96, and Law 25 adds privacy requirements on forms and cookies. We build the site so every page exists in both languages with the right hreflang tags, and your team edits both from the same place. You supply or approve the French copy; we do not machine-translate a page about your business.
Which booking tools do Canadian clinics and salons use?
Jane App is Canadian and the default for allied-health clinics. Salons tend to be on Fresha, Vagaro or Booksy; studios on Mindbody or Momence; trades on Jobber, which is also Canadian. All of them embed cleanly. If you already use one, you keep it.
What about email and SMS reminders under CASL?
Appointment reminders to existing clients are transactional and fine. Marketing emails need express consent, so we set the forms up with a separate, unticked consent box and a record of when it was ticked. That is what CASL asks for.
Do you invoice in Canadian dollars?
Prices on the site are in US dollars. If you prefer a CAD invoice at the exchange rate on the day, ask and we will issue one. Payment is by card or bank transfer; Interac e-Transfer is not available to us, so we do not pretend otherwise.
Pick your kind of business
- DentistsPatients search at night and book in the morning, if they can. A site that lets them book, shows real prices, and looks after itself.
- ClinicsReception is on the phone. The website should be taking the bookings that do not need a person. Built for physio, chiro, podiatry, therapy, med spas and allied health.
- Salons and barbersMost of your clients decide to book when you are closed. Instagram gets them interested; the website has to take the booking.
- Studios and gymsTimetable, book a spot, buy the pass, all on a phone, in under a minute. Built for yoga, pilates, barre, dance, boxing and personal training studios.
- TradesSomeone with a leak searches, taps the first site that loads, and calls or sends photos. If your site is slow or has no form, they tap the next one.
- AutomotiveDrivers want a slot, a price and a reason to trust you. The site has to book the service or test online, quote the repair from a photo, and prove you are the honest garage.
- PetsPet owners are choosing someone to trust with a family member. The site has to show the people and the place, state prices, handle the paperwork, and book the slot.
- Education and lessonsParents and adult learners compare on qualifications, fees and fit. The site has to show all three, book a trial, and enrol the term or course without a phone call.
- Photography, events and creativeCouples and clients book a year out, compare on the work and the price, and check the date first. The site has to show the work fast, state the packages, and take the date enquiry properly.
- Professional and financial servicesClients choose on trust and clarity. The site has to explain what you do in plain words, state fees where you can, show regulation and credentials, and book the first meeting.
- Hospitality and experiencesGuests book on the marketplace because your site cannot take the booking. A site with live availability, direct reservation and honest prices takes it back, without the commission.
- Therapists and coachesClients choose a coach or therapist on fit and specificity. The site has to say exactly who you help and how, state prices, avoid the claims regulators penalise, and book the first session.
- Childcare and familyParents are choosing who looks after their child. The site has to show the setting, prove vetting and inspection, explain fees and funding, and take the enquiry, viewing or enrolment.
- Repair and technical servicesCustomers want to know if you fix their thing, what it costs and how long. The site has to answer all three and book the drop-off or visit.
- Funeral and life eventsPeople arrive at these sites at the hardest moments. The site has to be calm, answer the practical questions plainly, state prices, and make the first call or message easy.
