FREE Website Design Deal For Small Businesses

To help small businesses who may not have the budget for having a professional website created for them, we are currently offering a special deal for very small businesses who qualify for, and work with us through, the CDAP grant. With our website deal, you will:

  • Get a new website designed for the cost of the grant (includes up to 2 revisions)
  • Have our help completing your grant application (we can even do the application for you at no extra cost)
  • Only pay for the tax, web hosting, domain name, and any subscriptions fees for additional plugins
  • Get your new website within approx. 3 weeks from the time your grant application is approved
  • Get a $150 credit when you refer others to Boreal who pay for services with this deal or for equivalent work not part of the grant

This deal is for a limited time and applies only to businesses who require either a Small Business Starter or E-commerce Starter website and is evaluated on a case by case basis to help very small businesses who otherwise could not afford a new website. In some cases, we may be able to provide a mix of services covered by the grant for the cost of the $2,400, or apply the grant to cover part of the cost of a larger project.
