Business Websites
BBN Labs builds and maintains business websites for Canadian small businesses. They load fast and work well on phones, with accessibility built in. They're structured so search engines and AI assistants can actually find and cite you. Design, copy, hosting, business email, analytics, security updates and content changes come from one accountable team. No more chasing a freelancer who's disappeared.
What you get
- Custom design (no recycled agency template)
- Mobile-first build every customer can use, built to recognized accessibility standards (WCAG)
- Copywriting structured for search and AI answer engines
- Hosting, domain and business email setup
- Contact, quote and booking forms with spam protection
- Analytics and Search Console setup
- Security updates, backups and a maintenance plan
- Content changes handled for you: menus, hours, promotions
- Local SEO foundations: Google Business Profile alignment, location pages where genuinely useful
What it fixes
- Your site is slow on phones, where most local customers are
- Nobody can update it; the person who built it is gone
- It doesn't show up for the searches your customers actually make
- It looks like a template because it is one
- Forms go nowhere, there's no analytics, and you can't prove it earns anything

The honest read on funding
Routine websites and ordinary marketing are usually not grant-eligible, and we won't pretend otherwise. Some specific contexts differ. Export programs may support adapting a website for a new market. Digital-adoption programs may support qualifying technology projects. Both are subject to program rules and approval.

Frequently asked questions
Will a grant pay for my website?
Usually no. Any company promising you a 'government-funded website' is waving a red flag. Narrow exceptions exist: export programs like CanExport SMEs may support adapting a site for a specific new foreign market, and digital-adoption pathways may support qualifying projects. We tell you honestly which bucket your project is in.
What makes a site 'AI-search ready'?
Google's own guidance is that AI Overviews and AI Mode draw from the normal search index, so the fundamentals decide: crawlable HTML, fast pages, clear answer-first copy, accurate structured data, and content that actually answers the questions customers ask. We build all of that in rather than bolting on gimmicks.
Do you hold my domain hostage?
No. Your domain is registered in your name, you get admin access to everything, and if we ever part ways you keep the site. We earn the maintenance relationship; we don't trap it.
