Why is the founding build only CA$1,250?
Hub Signal is new to store builds, so the first projects are priced below the future standard rate. In return, I ask for candid feedback, an honest testimonial, and permission to show the finished store. The testimonial doesn't have to be glowing; it has to be true.
I'm not on Shopify. Do I have to switch?
No. If you have no online store, I'll build one on Shopify because it's reliable and easy to run yourself. If you already sell through Square or another platform that works for you, I'll tell you honestly whether switching is worth it. Sometimes it isn't.
Who pays for Shopify and the domain?
You do, on your own accounts, so you own the store. Shopify's Basic plan is about CA$37 a month on yearly billing, and a .ca domain is around CA$20 a year. I'll flag any paid app before it's added, so there are no surprise subscriptions.
How long will my store take?
Two to four weeks once I have your product list, photos, logo and account access. A bigger catalogue or slow feedback can stretch that; we agree the launch date before starting.
Can you set up pickup and local delivery?
Yes. Most of my clients sell locally, so pickup times and delivery areas for Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview are part of the standard setup.
Can the store be in English and French?
Yes. Shopify supports bilingual stores. Tell me on the call and we'll plan the French pages and translations into the scope.
Will a store guarantee more sales?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. A good store makes buying easier. Your products, prices, photos and how you promote the store matter just as much. I guarantee the agreed build, testing and handover.
