Web Presence Assistance

For many Prince Edward Island businesses, the challenge isn’t product or service quality—it’s being discoverable online. Customers increasingly expect to find businesses through a professional website, and for some, the ability to sell online is essential. Web Presence Assistance is designed to help Island businesses and local not-for-profits take that first digital step or modernize an existing site by adding e-commerce functionality.

Delivered by Innovation PEI, this program offers non-repayable funding to offset a portion of the costs involved in building or upgrading a website. Support can help cover practical essentials such as domain registration, website design and development, hosting, and features that improve usability, including mobile optimization and online booking or shopping tools. For organizations launching a new site, limited support may also be available for initial online promotion to help attract early visitors and customers. Funding typically ranges up to a few thousand dollars, depending on the scope of the project and whether e-commerce is included.

Web Presence Assistance is well suited for startups, early-stage companies, and established organizations that have not yet sold online and are looking to expand their reach beyond traditional channels. Applications are generally accepted on an ongoing basis, making timing an important consideration.
