What the free core build includes

The website starts with the business, not a generic Tayoca template. We research what you do, who you serve and what a useful visitor action should be before the visual direction is chosen.

Business-specific directionResearch into your business, customers, local context and current online presence before design starts.
Essential responsive pagesA polished mobile and desktop experience covering the pages the business genuinely needs.
A clear customer actionContact, call, quote, booking, visit or another primary conversion path appropriate to the business.
Technical foundationsBasic technical SEO, sensible metadata, accessibility-minded implementation and analytics-ready setup.
Preview and handoffA staging preview for review, followed by source/repository handoff so the business is not locked out of its own website.

Free should mean free.

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

Optional items are separate conversations.

  • 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 or automation systems

You can decline every optional item above and still receive the agreed free core build.

How selection works

The first round is deliberately limited. Applying starts a review; it does not guarantee selection.

ApplyComplete the short external application on Google Forms.
ReviewTayoca reviews fit and available build capacity.
ResearchApproved applications move into business, customer and web-presence research.
BuildYou receive a tailored preview and an opportunity to review it.
HandoffApproved final work is delivered with source ownership clarified.

The application takes about two minutes.

Google Forms is the application surface because it is familiar and recognizable. You do not need a Tayoca account and we do not ask for payment information.

Submitting the form allows Tayoca to assess and contact you about this initiative. Newsletter permission and public case-study permission remain separate choices.

Submitting is an application, not a guarantee of selection.

Know a local business that deserves a better website?

A customer, neighbour, friend or community organization can nominate a business for Tayoca to research. A nomination does not enroll the business, authorize contact on its behalf or guarantee selection.

Common questions

The goal is a credible web presence without turning the free build into a sales trap.

Which Ontario communities are included?Shelburne, Orangeville, Alliston, Dufferin County, Simcoe County and nearby Ontario communities are part of the first-round focus.
Is the website core build really free?Yes. Selected businesses pay $0 for the agreed core build. Hosting, domains, maintenance, ecommerce or other optional services are separate and never required to receive the promised core build.
Why does the application open in Google Forms?It gives applicants a familiar application surface. Tayoca.com remains the canonical initiative page and the place to understand scope, eligibility and process.
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.

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