FAQ
Why would I choose Simple Site instead of Wix?
Simple Site is an excellent alternative to Wix for businesses that want a professional website along with the support of a real team.
With Wix, you’re mainly using a platform. With Simple Site, you benefit from guidance provided by web specialists, with strong foundations in SEO, security, performance, and compliance.
It’s also a more reassuring option for businesses that want to maintain their freedom and flexibility. With Wix, it’s not just the website that can become locked into their ecosystem, but sometimes the domain name, DNS settings, and even email services as well. This dependency can make it more difficult to evolve, migrate, or integrate new tools over time.
Simple Site, on the other hand, gives businesses a strong foundation with a simple framework and a more sustainable, flexible long-term vision.
How long does it take to launch a website with Simple Site?
A Simple Site website can go live in as little as 2 weeks when all essential elements are ready from the start, especially the content and logo.
This allows a business to quickly establish a professional online presence, build credibility, and make it easier for future customers to find them online.
Of course, timelines may vary depending on communication speed, content availability, requested revisions, and project complexity. But in a simple and well-prepared context, Simple Site makes it possible to launch a professional website quickly without going through a long and complicated process.
It’s an excellent option for businesses that want to:
- get online quickly;
- inspire confidence from their very first visitors;
- start generating leads and inquiries;
- launch their online visibility without unnecessary delays.
I want a website with Simple Site. What are the steps until launch?
Once the agreement has been signed, here are the next steps:
- Meeting with our team to identify your goals, priorities, and business needs.
- Sending you a list of the materials required for the website design process (texts, logo, images, company information, etc.).
- Design and development of your website by our team while taking your objectives and provided material into consideration.
- Presentation of a first version of the website so you can review it and request any necessary adjustments.
- Once the website is approved, planning and scheduling of the launch.
Is it easy to update the content on my website?
Yes. Simple Site was designed to make updating your website content simple and efficient.
The website is built using Django CMS, a professional platform known for its flexibility and stability. Depending on the section of the site, it is even possible to use front-end editing, allowing certain text and content updates to be made directly on the page without having to navigate through a complex administration interface.
Our goal is to provide a solution that remains easy to use on a daily basis, even for users without technical experience.
And of course, if you prefer to have us handle updates or help your website evolve over time, our team remains available to support you.
I’m starting a business. Is Simple Site a good option for me?
Yes, absolutely. Simple Site was specifically designed for startups and growing businesses that want to launch a professional, credible, and affordable website quickly, without investing immediately in a large-scale project.
Even though it’s a more accessible solution, we still apply the same best practices used for websites built for larger companies: professional structure, security, performance, compliance, SEO foundations, and user experience. In other words, this is not a “cheap” website — it’s a thoughtfully designed solution created by a team that has been working in the web industry since 2001.
Simple Site allows businesses to build a strong and professional online presence right from the beginning, with a solid foundation that can grow over time. And most importantly, you’re not left on your own: behind the service is a real team of professionals ready to guide, support, and evolve the website according to your needs.
It’s an excellent option for businesses that want to:
- present themselves professionally online;
- inspire confidence from the first visit;
- obtain a professional website at a more accessible price point;
- start with strong foundations for the future.
What are the advantages of paying monthly for a website instead of buying one outright?
Monthly payments allow businesses to access a professional website without having to absorb a large upfront expense. For startups and growing companies, it’s a smart way to preserve cash flow while still building a credible online presence.
It’s also important to understand that a website purchased outright still comes with ongoing costs afterward. Hosting, updates, maintenance, and security typically require additional investments. With Simple Site, those elements are included in the plan, making management simpler and costs much more predictable.
Ultimately, the monthly model often makes it easier to plan expenses, avoid unpleasant surprises, and start with a professional solution that is well-supported and easier to access.
Where is my Simple Site website hosted?
Simple Site websites are hosted in data centers located in Quebec, providing a stable, high-performance environment that is well suited for local businesses.
We notably use recognized infrastructures such as:
- Micro Logic’s Projet Cirrus in Montreal
- ThinkOn in Montreal
- OVHcloud in Beauharnois
Beyond the choice of data center, what truly makes the difference is how the servers are configured and managed. Our team leverages its expertise to maintain a secure and reliable hosting environment that already supports hundreds of websites, including those of major companies in Quebec.
We also provide proactive infrastructure monitoring. This means our systems quickly alert us if an issue arises, allowing for efficient intervention when needed. The entire environment is designed with sufficient resources to ensure strong performance, stability, and a high level of security.
If my business grows, can my “Simple Site” website grow with it?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, that’s one of the biggest advantages of Simple Site.
Your website is not designed as a closed or disposable solution. On the contrary, it is built on a professional foundation that can evolve alongside your business. This means we can add sections, expand content, improve functionality, or adapt the site to support new business goals over time.
And if, at some point, your needs go beyond the scope of Simple Site, the project can also evolve into a fully custom solution. In that case, we can move beyond the initial framework without starting from scratch. You keep the core of what has already been built while we develop the next phase based on your needs: custom features, integrations, automations, tailored tools, and more.
The goal is simple: allow you to start with an accessible solution and grow without losing your initial investment.
Beyond the website itself, our team can also support the overall growth of your digital presence, including:
- SEO
- digital marketing
- online advertising
- social media management and content
- other strategic or technical needs related to your growth
