Free Website Initiative · First round

Free websites for 10 local Ontario businesses. A better front door.

If your Ontario small business has no website, relies mainly on social media, or has a website that no longer represents the business well, Tayoca is opening ten build spots for this first community round across Shelburne, Orangeville, Alliston, Dufferin County, Simcoe County and nearby communities.

The core website build is provided at no charge for selected businesses. There is no requirement to buy hosting, maintenance, a CMS, SEO or another service from Tayoca.

Not a template giveaway.

We first understand the business, the customers it serves and the action the website needs to make easier. The visual direction follows the business, not a generic Tayoca theme.

A useful website, not a decorative placeholder.

Scope is deliberately practical. The goal is to give a selected business a credible, maintainable starting point it can actually own.

01
Business-specific UX and visual direction

Research into your business, customers, local context and current web presence before design begins.

02
Responsive essential pages

A polished mobile and desktop experience covering the pages your business genuinely needs.

03
Clear customer action

Contact, quote, booking, call, visit or another primary conversion path appropriate to the business.

04
Technical foundations

Basic technical SEO, sensible metadata, accessibility-minded implementation and analytics-ready setup.

05
Preview and source handoff

A staging preview for review, then repository/source handoff so the business is not locked out of its own website.

Free should mean free.

If you are selected, the promised core build does not suddenly become conditional on purchasing something else.

Discussed separately only when useful

  • Domain or long-term hosting costs
  • Secure owner CMS or /admin capability
  • Ongoing maintenance and security updates
  • Managed local SEO and reporting
  • E-commerce or custom application features
  • Booking, payment, CRM and automation systems

You can decline every optional add-on and still receive the agreed free core build.

A familiar two-minute application.

To make the first step feel safer and more familiar, applications now open in Google Forms. You do not need to create a Tayoca account or enter payment information.

Your choices stay separate.

Submitting allows Tayoca to assess and contact you about this initiative. Newsletter permission and public case-study permission remain optional.

Apply for one of the first 10 website spots

Google Forms is the application surface. Tayoca remains the initiative home, eligibility guide, and source of updates.

Open the application on Google Forms

Submitting is an application, not a guarantee of selection. The first round is limited to 10 businesses.

Free website help for local Ontario businesses.

The initiative is designed for small businesses that need a credible web presence without turning the free build into a sales trap.

01
Which Ontario communities are included?

Shelburne, Orangeville, Alliston, Dufferin County, Simcoe County and nearby Ontario communities are part of the first-round focus.

02
Is the website core build really free?

Yes. Selected businesses pay $0 for the agreed core build. Hosting, domains, maintenance, e-commerce or other optional services are separate and never required to receive the promised core build.

03
Why does the application open in Google Forms?

It gives applicants a familiar, recognizable application surface. Tayoca.com remains the canonical initiative page and the place to understand eligibility, scope and process.

04
What happens after I apply?

Tayoca reviews fit and available capacity first. Approved applications then move into business research, website planning, build, review and source handoff.

A Tayoca community give-back

Good local businesses deserve a web presence that reflects the work they already do.
