Where we work
Based in St. Thomas. Building for all of Canada.

Questions
Websites & calendars, answered.
How much does a small business website cost?
Every website is quoted after a free chat about what your business needs, so you only pay for what you use. You get a clear price up front before any work starts, with no surprises.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites take about four to six weeks from the first call to going live. You see progress along the way and approve the design before it is built.
Do you only work with businesses near St. Thomas?
No. Countryside Communications is based in St. Thomas, Ontario, but websites and booking calendars are done entirely online by phone, email and video call, so we work with small businesses anywhere in Ontario and across Canada.
What is an online booking calendar?
It is a scheduling calendar for your business that works in any web browser. You book your customers in by day, week or month from your phone or computer, see your whole schedule at a glance, and every appointment is linked to that customer's record. If you like, we can also add online booking to your website so customers can pick a time themselves.
Can I keep my customer list in the booking calendar?
Yes. Each calendar includes a customer database with names, phone numbers, addresses, notes and job history, so you can pull up a customer right from their appointment.
Will my website work on phones and show up on Google?
Yes. Every site is designed to look great on phones, tablets and computers, loads fast, and is set up with the titles, descriptions and Google tools it needs to be found in search.
Do you still install rural internet?
Yes. Countryside Communications is an authorized Xplore Internet dealer installing 5G, fibre and satellite internet across Southwestern Ontario. See the Xplore Internet page for plans.
