# Bright Sites

## About

The company uses a build-first model: the team researches your business, pulls your real photos from Google Maps and Instagram, and builds a complete custom website before asking for a single dollar. You see the finished product and only pay if you love it. Every site is hand-coded with AI-powered tools -- no WordPress, no templates, no page builders. Sites are hosted free on Cloudflare's global CDN and delivered in about 7 days.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does a small business website cost?
A: Bright Sites starts at $99 one-time for a Starter website. The Custom plan is $179 and Premium is $349. All plans are one-time payments with $0 monthly hosting fees -- compared to the $1,000-$5,000+ most web designers charge.

Q: Do I have to pay before I see my website?
A: No. We build your complete website first, then send you a live link to review. You only pay if you love it. If it's not right, there's no charge and no obligation.

Q: How long does it take to build a website?
A: Most sites go from research to live in about 7 days. Premium builds with on-site photography or booking integration may take a few extra days.

Q: Do you serve businesses outside Toronto?
A: Yes. We're based in Toronto and serve the Greater Toronto Area in person, but we work with small businesses across all of Canada remotely. No in-person meetings required.

Q: Do I need to provide my own photos?
A: No. We pull your real photos from Google Maps, Instagram, and other public sources. The Premium plan ($349) also includes professional on-site photography.

Q: What makes Bright Sites different from other web designers?
A: Two things: price and risk. Most designers charge $1,000-$5,000+ and require payment upfront. We deliver a finished, hand-coded website for $99-$349 and you don't pay until you've seen it. No WordPress, no templates, no monthly fees.

Q: Where is my website hosted and are there monthly fees?
A: Your site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages -- a global CDN with 300+ data centres and built-in SSL. Hosting is free with no monthly fees, no subscriptions, and no recurring charges.

Q: What if I want changes after the site is built?
A: The Starter plan includes one revision round. Custom and Premium plans include text, image, and layout changes. You also own the complete codebase, so you can edit it yourself or hire someone else anytime.
